Part- Time Work Hours while Studying

[Shang Dela Cerna]

Hello! As an international student, we are allowed to work 20 hours per week while studying, my question is can we work a full time shift (8 hours) or do overtime as long as we do not exceed the 20 hours? Can we also work full time after a term ends and before a new term begins? Thanks a lot in advance

Yes, you can work straight 20hrs in a day as long as you don’t exceed it. And yes, you can work 40hrs a week on scheduled breaks.

Thank you for your reply how about during reading week can we still work full time?

Not sure what you mean by a reading week but you can only work full time during a scheduled break when there are no classes or any activity so between semesters for example. Guessing reading week is not considered a break. There is no limit on hours when able to work full time by the way.

Yes, reading week is part of the “scheduled breaks”
