Employment Outside of the Assistantship
Additional employment outside of the assistantship should not be assumed by the student. The student is expected to work full or part time toward a degree, depending upon the enrollment required for the assistantship. Exceptions will be made only for assignments of short duration, per semester and if the student has a minimum GPA of 3.0. International students are only permitted to work a total of 20 hours per week during the academic year and 30 during the summer semester. Domestic students are allowed to work a total of 30 hours per week. The Request for Employment Outside of Graduate Assistantship Duties Form requesting the College of Graduate Studies permission for additional employment may be obtained either from the College of Graduate Studies’ Web-site or from the student’s advisor. The student’s advisor must argue that the progress of the student towards the degree will not be delayed or disrupted by the additional assignment.
