Black Hills State University: Can an international student's work income be assumed to cover a lease?

DIRECT ANSWER

Published university guidance only; no job, individual work permission, off-campus authorization or income guarantee.

BHSU’s retained international guidance permits F-1/J-1 on-campus work up to twenty hours weekly during school and up to forty during summer and winter breaks. Treat those as published ceilings, not promised hours or wages. Confirm actual status-specific authorization and the job offer before relying on earnings for rent.
