Looking for a part-time job at UD?

What to know before applying

Applicants must be enrolled in a graduate program at the University of Delaware and be in good academic standing. In order to be considered for additional on-campus employment, applicants’ combined on-campus employment, including teaching, research and graduate assistantship, must not exceed 29.5 hours.

Graduate students on contract may hold additional employment, on campus or off campus, up to 29.5 hours per week total without approval by the student’s program, the student’s advisor or the Graduate College. However, graduate students on contract are always encouraged to discuss additional employment with their advisors to avoid any situation that might hinder timely progress toward the degree.

International graduate students are encouraged to apply and consult International Student and Scholar Services (ISSS) before starting the application process to ensure that they meet the U.S. federal government’s immigration eligibility requirements. 

International students attending the University of Delaware on an F-1 or J-1 student visa are limited by federal regulations to no more than 20 hours of on-campus employment per week, which includes TA, RA or GA appointments and any additional on-campus employment. This means that international students on a full TA, RA or GA appointment are not eligible for additional on-campus work during the fall or spring semester, even if the Graduate College employment policy would otherwise allow it. During the winter and summer sessions, additional on-campus employment of up to 9.5 hours per week may be possible.

Graduate students receiving competitive fellowships and awards must consult Dr. LaRuth McAfee before applying for additional job opportunities.
