Professional Opportunities: Teaching & Staff

1. You can only work on campus and no more than 20 hours a week.
2. To be eligible to work on campus, you must be enrolled in our current 8-week program.
3. Sponsored students will need their sponsor’s permission to work.

CESL students may apply for jobs in the Student Union, the university libraries and occasionally in university departments. On-campus employment does not require consent of the INS, however, the student should be in good academic standing.

If you are offered an on-campus job, you may need to apply for a social security number.

1. Get a letter from your potential employer. Print the sample employer offer letter on department letterhead.
2. Bring that letter and your passport to CESL room 101. You need a letter from CESL stating that you are a full-time F-1 student enrolled in CESL classes.
3. Take the two letters, your passport, I-94, and a photo ID, in person, to the regional Social Security Administration office, 3500 N. Campbell.

NON-RESIDENT INCOME TAX RESPONSIBILITIES

If you work, you must pay tax. Foreign students and scholars, including their dependents, are required to file tax returns ONLY IF they have income subject to tax in the United States. All F, J, and M visaholders are required to file a form 1040NR or 1040 NREZ if they have taxable income. Non-resident aliens are required to file an additional statement (Form 8843) which serves as an explanation of the visa-holder's claim to non-resident status for tax purposes.

The International Student Office at the University of Arizona offers valuable income tax information and help with the forms on its website. Read their information at

SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBERS

CESL students who do not work on campus, cannot apply for a social security number.

Legally you should not need a social security number to get a credit card, open a bank account, buy a car, turn on utilities or to get a drivers license. However, you will often be asked for a social security number as it is becoming a national means of identification. When you are asked for a number, show your passport to show your legal immigration status as a student.
