Work Permits
Students: Congratulations on securing a job!
Students, parents & employees,
School and summer work permits for the 2025-2026 school year expires Sunday, August 9, 2026.
If your work permit has expired, and you are planning to continue to work through the summer, you will need to apply for a new work permit.
School sites will start process work permit applications for the 2026-27 school year on August 3, 2026.
Provisional work permits are temporary work permits for students on academic contract. This type of work permit can expire anytime during the school year. If you have any questions regarding this type of work permit, reach out to your school site point person listed below.
To obtain a work permit, the students must initiate this application or it will be denied. (Parents or employers cannot complete the student's work permit application for the student employee.)
Note: A student needs her/his guardian's email and employer's email to complete this step. Once the student completes her/his section, s/he routes it to the guardian, after which it gets routed to the employer.
For further guidance on completing your application view this presentation.
