On July 17, 2026, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security published a final rule eliminating Duration of Status for certain nonimmigrant students and exchange visitors. The rule was scheduled to take effect on September 15, 2026. Please visit our Duration of Status Rule Change webpage for additional information and updates.
 

Update: On September 14, 2026, a U.S. federal judge has issued an order blocking the new rules from going into effect at this time. As a result, the new rules will not take effect on September 15, 2026, and the current immigration rules remain in place while the court case continues.

On-campus employment information


Welcome to a new academic year at Arizona State University!

 

As a J-1 visa holder with a DS-2019 issued by ASU, any on-campus job you may hold with ASU must receive approval before starting the position. If you are continuing your position, you must report it each semester to maintain immigration compliance.

 

These positions include, but are not limited to, research or teaching assistantships, graduate student assistants, on-campus jobs, fellowships, etc.



To report your on-campus employment, please complete and submit the
J-1 On-Campus Employment Authorization Request eForm through the MyISSC eForm Portal.


As a reminder, you must resubmit this form if you change, add, extend, or discontinue your on-campus employment.

 

As always, the ISSC is here for you, no matter where you are or what time zone you are studying in.
