General & Entertainment Work Permit Information

  • General Work Permits (Fall and Spring) 

    Students seeking a General Work Permit during the academic year must contact their school of attendance first to determine if their school is issuing work permits. If work permits may not be obtained from the home school site, the Work Experience Education Office is available to assist students. Effective Monday, August 12, 2024, a student seeking a work permit from the Work Experience Education Office will also need an Authorization Letter from their school of attendance. 

    Work permits issued during the Fall and Spring semesters will only be issued to the minor who is seeking employment (the minor MUST be present). Before visiting the Work Experience Education Office for a General Work Permit, the minor MUST have the documents listed below:
