Other Employment

With the recognition that the TA/RA's primary responsibilities are to Temple University and employment is secondary to academic endeavors any other employment (within or outside of Temple) will be permissible only if it does not interfere with assigned duties or responsibilities and is in accordance with other Temple policies.

Step. 1 The request form must be signed by the TA/RA's advisor. If the TA/RA advisor does not respond to such request within three (3) working days, the TA/RA may proceed to the next step of approval, the Department Chair.

Step. 2 The request form must be signed by the TA/RA's Department Chair. If the Department Chair does not respond to such a request within three (3) working days, the TA/RA may proceed to the next step for approval, the Dean.

Step. 3 The request form must be signed by the TA/RA's Dean. If the Dean does not respond within three (3) working days, the TA/RA may present the request to the Designated University Officer for final approval.

The designated University officer will approve or deny any such request within three (3) working days of the propose start date provided the request at this step is made at least fifteen (15) working days prior to the proposed start date. In all cases, the request will be handled as expeditiously as possible. If there is no response within ten (10) days of the filing of the request with the designated University officer, the other employment will be deemed to be approved for the current semester only.
