Restrictions on Financial Aid and Employment


General guidelines for restriction on Financial Aid and Employment

Graduate students ordinarily may not simultaneously accept two different financial awards from the university. Students who hold fellowships or assistantships may not accept employment outside of their academic department without the permission of the dean of the school of matriculation and department chair.

Graduate students who have received aid administered by the Office of Financial Aid must report to that office any change in circumstances or additional student resources including scholarships, loans, gifts, assistantships, or other employment received subsequent to the original aid award.

Graduate students are expected to be enrolled full-time to receive their full scholarship offer. Some scholarships may be prorated for part-time enrollment of at least six credits. Please see the section on full and part-time registration for graduate study here. Please note that registration may affect financial aid eligibility. Non-degree seeking students are not eligible to receive scholarships.

Good academic standing. Students are expected to maintain good academic standing while enrolled at the Graduate School-Camden in order to receive their scholarship and to work as TAs or GAs. While the general circumstances regarding academic standing are expounded in its own page here in the Catalog, a general rule of thumb is that graduate students are expected to maintain a GPA of 3.0 or above, meaning that students cannot have more than three courses with a C or lower. After the first C, students will be issued an academic notice that reminds them of the stipulations regarding their funding; subsequent Cs may entail adjustments to financial aid and support and related departmental action.

Students who have Academic Integrity cases may also be subject to scholarship, financial aid, and employment adjustment.

Professional behavior. All graduate students are expected to maintain a level of professional behavior as students and, in the case of employees, TAs, and GAs, as Rutgers employees. Though the interpretations of professional behavior can be loose, it generally reflects a level of respect and decorum in the classroom both toward instructors and toward fellow classmates.
