GTA Policies and Procedures 

Graduate students who are supported by an assistantship, either as a GRA (research), GTA (teaching), or GSA (service) are limited to 20 hours of work per week on service related to the graduate assistantship. However, students may be eligible to work an additional 9 hours per week with the possibility to earn income for the work.

Graduate students are first and foremost students and the additional work must provide professional development for the student.  The duration of the additional work is typically within one semester. International students who have an F1 VISA are not eligible for this waiver and are limited to working no more than 20 hours per week.
