During Summer or semester breaks students must not exceed the 40/40/40/19 work schedule between both jobs. It is the responsibility of the students to keep track of their hours and guarantee that they do not exceed the work hours limit.

Students on an approved semester leave may work up to 40 hours per week for three consecutive weeks but must decrease to 19 hours on the fourth week. Domestic students on approved semester leave are subject to FICA.

Please note that students must apply and be approved for semester leave in order to continue employment in their student positions. To apply for semester leave, students must meet with their academic advisor or visit the Office of the Registrar to complete the required form.

To qualify for FICA exemption, domestic students must be enrolled in six credits during Fall, Winter and Spring semesters. All international students are FICA exempt. They must be enrolled in school full-time.

Domestic students who are enrolled in less than six credits, are on an approved semester leave, or working through the nine-week summer break are subject to FICA taxes.
