Yes, International students who do not have a U.S. Social Security Number can begin working upon completion of the Form I-9.

No. The Form I-9 is valid for the duration of your time at Brown. International students are required to submit new work authorization after their initial authorization expires for their I-9 to remain active. In some cases, if a student takes a leave of absence from the University, they might be required to update their I-9 Form when they return
