Students on major outside awards (awards where the GSAS
contribution to the stipend according to the formula in (a) is $6,000 or less)
are usually exempted from teaching. However, a student on an outside award may
be required to teach because of the GSAS teaching requirement. Students with
external awards can only be required to teach if the year or semester of the
award is the student’s last opportunity to complete the teaching requirement,
as per the GSAS
Rules and Regulations, GSAS Degree Requirements—Instructional Requirement,
section VII.C.. If this is the case, the topping-off rule is modified as
follows:
The GSAS component of the student’s award computed in (1) must be at least
$3,000 per semester taught (paid during the semester of teaching).
Example: A humanities student wins an outside award that pays $25,000 for the
year. The standard stipend for the year is $20,000. According to the rule in
(1), the student would receive $2,000 from GSAS for a total stipend of $27,000.
However, the student is required to teach for one semester during the year in
order to fulfill the GSAS teaching requirement. Because the GSAS component of
the total stipend is only $2,000, the student should receive an additional
$1,000 from GSAS during the semester she teaches for a total stipend of $28,000.
If the student is required to teach both semesters, the stipend rises to $31,000.
By GSAS regulations the minimum teaching requirement for any Ph.D. candidate in
an Arts and Sciences program (see section
I.E.1.) is one full year of teaching, so that even students who are
entirely supported on external funds must teach for at least one year. Students
supported on internal funds are usually required to teach more than one year as
a condition of their fellowship package.
