Off-Campus Employment - MFA Handbook
Graduate Teaching Assistants may not work off campus, as noted in the letter of offer received by TAs from the Graduate School. Indeed, the combination of academic work and assistantship duties is a hefty full time job. Short-term in-field opportunities (e.g., conducting a workshop or dancing for a local professional company) which are approved by the Department Head are routinely approved by the Graduate School. Hardship cases in which there is clear evidence that the assistantship or fellowship stipend is not sufficient to maintain a student in school will also be considered.
