Can I work on campus?

There may be options available but please note that working is a privilege and you are coming to be a student first and foremost. Also, working on campus does not afford you enough money to be able to cover your school expenses. Note: it is illegal to work off campus with a student permit.

What is a Student permit and how do I apply?

According to Trinidad and Tobago immigration laws, ESL Students must pay and apply for a student permit. Our student centre can help you with this process. See the fee schedule for the student permit fee. ESP Students do not require a Student Permit, since their stay is no more than 1 month, and is part of a wider student exchange programme.
