Secondary Positions
All students are required to fulfill their enrollment agreement through a primary assignment. Students who wish to take on additional work, whether for personal interest or financial need, may apply for a secondary position. Secondary positions are typically for intermittent work, usually 0–5 hours per week, though some may extend to 10 hours. Availability depends on departmental allocations, and students must obtain overload approval if their combined hours exceed 15 per week.
Secondary positions require approval from the primary supervisor, who may decline the request if there are concerns about performance in the primary role or potential scheduling conflicts. Approval may be revoked if such issues arise. Secondary positions must never take priority over the primary assignment, and secondary hours do not count toward the basic hour requirement.
First-year students are not permitted to hold secondary positions during their first term to allow them to focus on academic responsibilities and their primary assignment during the transition to college.
