The academic year employment period beginsÌýSunday, August 24, 2025 and ends Saturday, May 16, 2026.

There are two student employment periods during the year: Summer and Academic Year.

During the Academic Year, undergraduate students may work no more than 20 hours per week for Boston College - even if working more than one job for Boston College - and may work up to 29 hours per week between the fall and spring semesters as well as Spring break. Graduate students may work no more than 29 hours per week for Boston College; this aggregate limit applies to all monthly-paid/stipend payroll and hourly-paid positions combined.

During the Summer, students may work 30 or more hours per week (to a maximum of 40 hours per week), but may not work more than 12 weeks of the summer employment period working these hours as a student employee of Boston College, even if working more than one job for BC. Students may only work more than 12 weeks out of our 14-week summer employment period if they average no more than 29 hours per week throughout the summer.

International students on an F-1 or J-1 visa are limited to working on campus for a total of no more than 20 hours per week while school is in session, as cited in . This includes all on-campus jobs, whether hourly-paid or monthly stipend-paid. In addition, international students are only permitted to work full-time up to 40 hours per week for a maximum of 12 weeks on campus during vacation periods over the summer (if the student is not taking classes). International students may work up to 29 hours per week during semesters and Spring breaks.

Weeks that include one-day holidaysÌý(Indigenous People's Day and Good Friday)Ìýor multiple days of classes (Thanksgiving break) areÌýnotÌýconsidered break periods.

Human Resources will be monitoring hours being worked, and it is expected that employers as well as their student employees will do the same to ensure compliance with University policy.

Student employees who work six consecutive hours that day/shift are entitled to a 30 minute unpaid meal break. According to , an employee may waive the right to a half-hour meal break per six hours of work, but in such cases an employer should document day-by-day with the employee’s signature, or on an open-ended basis for which the employee signs once when the employee chooses to waive the right to the half-hour meal break. It is up to the department whether to allow the employee to work through the meal break; and, if permitted, the employee has to be paid for the time worked.
