Work hours in Summer on F-1

[ak001]

I have an offer from the University to work for around 50 - 55 hrs/ week during summer break. I was enrolled full time in Spring and will be enrolled full time in Fall.

Am I allowed to work more than 40 hrs :

1) If I am not registered for any class during Summer

2) If I am registered for one class during Summer

Thanks

Yes, you can work as much as you like in vacation semester. But, you have to get authorization if the work is off-campus. If you just had one semester in F1 status, you may not be eligible for vacation semester. Check with your school's DSO.

Thanks for the reply.

The work is totally on-campus. So I assume I don't need any authorization to work. Please clarify this.

and

A specific question is that is there a restriction on the number of hrs/ week during Summer if the student is taking a class as well.

Thanks,

I think 40 is the max limit. It was, in the past. I might be wrong as I am not a recent graduate.

Talk to your school's DSO. There are very limited circumstances when you are allowed to fall below full time.
