In order to receive funding at the graduate level, you must be a full-time student. As a full-time student, you are restricted from working more than 10 hours per week in on campus employment. If, however, you are the recipient of an external award, the agency providing the award may have restrictions on the number of hours (including a TA) that you may work. If you exceed this guideline, you risk losing your external funding. Please refer to your award holder’s guide or the agency’s website for more information.
Since both are considered on campus employment, and on campus, you cannot work as a full TA (10 hours per week) and a sessional (10 hours per week) at the same time.
