Driving without a driver鈥檚 license in the U.S. is illegal.

If you need a U.S. driver鈥檚 license, each state in the U.S. has its own Department of Motor Vehicles (often called RMV or DMV). Access the RMV/DMV in the state where you temporarily reside in the U.S. Follow the specific instructions from your state of temporary residence.

• Visiting and submitting the proper documentation to the RMV/DMV

Documentation you will need

F-1 students are highly regulated for employment. If there is an open position at NEC, on-campus employment is an opportunity that you may be qualified for. You do not need special USCIS permission to have an on-campus job, but you must discuss it with your NEC DSO.

On-campus employment is not guaranteed to any F-1 student. The U.S. government requires that an F-1 student not displace a U.S. student for on-campus employment.

You would start by looking for an open position through the Career and Life Planning office鈥檚 Handshake platform. Go through the process for application. If you are offered a position, you must disclose that information immediately to your NEC DSO so that your DSO can ensure you maintain your status and discuss the limits to employment.

For example, here are some maintenance of status issues:

• You may only work for an office on campus, not for an office or company off campus.
• You may only work 20 hours or fewer per week while classes are in session.
• You must obtain a Social Security Number if you do not yet have one.
• You must have a signed offer letter with supervisor contact information, working schedule, signed and dated by both you and the supervisor for your DSO’s files.

You will need to file a U.S. tax return for any earnings from on-campus employment. You should look up assistance such as to understand your tax liability.

For questions, reach out to your NEC DSO or international@nec.edu

How do I secure CPT?
