Students typically work during the day since courses are in the evening. While on campus students can either work in industry, as a teaching assistant (apply through the Biological Sciences Department), or various positions on campus.  International students may work on campus the first year and may work off-campus in their second year with a CPT.  International students will need to check with ISSS regarding any employment to ensure their visa requirements are satisfied.

Some teaching assistant positions are available. Please apply through the Department of Biological Sciences. The positions are competitive and you must apply during the prior semester to be considered.
