Time spent engaged in external employment may have a detrimental effect on a student’s academic progress, a condition of both continuation in the program and fellowship support. Therefore, the Graduate School strongly recommends that students who receive fellowship funds administered by the Graduate School as teaching, research, or dissertation fellows not accept offers of external employment unless the position significantly enhances their professional development. Students are urged to consult with the director of graduate studies of their Ph.D. program before engaging in outside employment. Students who hold fellowships from an outside source, whether or not administered by GSAS, may be subject to more restrictive policies of the funding agency. Students who hold fellowships from an outside source should fully understand the terms of their awards before making plans for other employment.
International Students: International students should fully understand the regulations concerning permissible employment under their visas before making plans for employment in the United States. For this reason, they should consult the International Students and Scholars Office on eligibility for such employment at http://www.columbia.edu/cu/isso.
For further clarification in particular cases, students should speak to the appropriate financial aid officer.
