F-1 Students: UC San Diego F-1 students who are enrolled at UC San Diego and are eligible for on-campus employment may work remotely.
J-1 Students: Under current Department of State guidance released on July 10, 2023, UC San Diego J-1 students who are enrolled at UC San Diego are eligible to work on a limited hybrid schedule with "on-campus employment". However, they may not work remotely (from a residential address) for their employer/organizations for more than 40% per week (e.g., no more than two days out of a five-day work week).
IMPORTANT NOTE FOR GRADUATE STUDENTS IN INSTRUCTIONAL OR INSTRUCTIONAL SUPPORT ROLES: While students in instructional roles (e.g., a TA) may be permitted to serve in this type of role in hybrid capacities (still within the U.S.), they may not do so internationally. Please discuss your plans with your graduate coordinator if you have an instructional role but plan to work internationally.
If you intend to apply for post completion work authorization (J-1 Academic Training (AT)), be advised that students must apply while they are physically present within the U.S.
