Guidelines on work as part-time Research Assistants and Teaching Assistants

1. As part of their PGR training, SMU PGR Scholars are expected to work, without remuneration, as part-time RA/TA for up to a maximum of 7 hours per week. The nature of the unpaid work will be determined by the Dean of the School that the SMU PGR Scholar belongs to.

2. After fulfilling the 7 hours of unpaid RA/TA work per week, SMU PGR Scholars may work for additional hours as a paid part-time RA/TA, provided these additional hours do not exceed 7 hours per week. Prior to engaging in the paid part-time RA/TA work, the SMU PGR Scholar needs to obtain prior permission from the SMU Office of Research and the dean of the School that he/she belongs to. The rate of payment and the procedures for hiring and payment for these additional hours will be in accordance with the SMu's prevailing guidelines.
