F-1 students have limited work options: on-campus employment, and off-campus practical training through Curricular Practical Training (CPT) or Optional Practical Training (OPT), each with its own rules and authorization steps.
F-1 status is primarily for full-time study, so work is restricted and must be authorized. On-campus employment is generally permitted within limits. Off-campus work usually requires a recognized training program tied to your studies.
Curricular Practical Training (CPT) allows work that is an integral part of your established curriculum and must be authorized by your designated school official on your Form I-20 before you begin. Optional Practical Training (OPT) allows temporary employment directly related to your major and requires an Employment Authorization Document from USCIS. Working without proper authorization is a serious violation that can end your status, so always confirm authorization first.
