Ordinarily, graduate students may not simultaneously hold two different fellowships, assistantships, or other substantial forms of employment. Students who have been offered two different awards should inquire at the dean's office of the school of matriculation before accepting either. Students who hold assistantships, fellowships, or traineeships may not accept employment outside their academic department without the permission of the graduate director and the dean of the school of matriculation.

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