• Students studying in the U.S. on an F-1 visa should check in with the Harvard International Office to ensure they have proper work authorization before beginning work (paid or unpaid) at any off-campus or non-Harvard affiliated sites. Students studying on a J-1 visa should also check-in with their sponsoring organization to ensure they have proper work authorization before beginning on-campus or off-campus work.
