Work Permits
All student employees age 17 and under MUST have a valid work permit on file for the
State of Maryland BEFORE beginning work. The process is easy, convenient, and can
be started prior to the student arriving on campus.
Step 1
- View and print out the Application for Work Permit for a Minor
- Complete the top section of the application; once complete, sign the "Signature of
Minor" located at the bottom of the page
- Have your Employer (hiring department) complete the Employer section of the Application
- Have your parent or guardian sign the Application on the designated line
Step 2
Step 3
- Minors should fax the completed work permit application AND proof of age to 410-333-7303.
The minor also needs to indicate how he/she prefers to receive the permit: fax or
mail
- Or, if you do not have access to a fax machine, bring all of your documents to the
Career Center and we can fax them for you in lieu of an issuing officer
