Regulations are strict regard students who wish to work on a visa. If work study is a part of your financial aid package, you are guaranteed a job on campus. Students without work study may also get a job on campus after all the students with work study have secured their positions. Vassar policy allows for part-time, on campus employment to a maximum of 10 hours a week during the academic year.<\/p>\n
Prior to working on campus, you will need to obtain a Social Security Number (SSN) . The Office Of International Services will arrange an opportunity to obtain your SSN about two to three weeks after you arrive on campus. Since there may be a delay in obtaining the SSN, the Financial Aid Office will issue you a voucher that can be redeemed for cash to cover your initial weeks’ earnings. (Don’t worry: this is one of the topics we will cover during International Orientation.)<\/p>\n
