Resident graduate students who have completed at least one
graduate year at MIT or new students who were MIT undergraduates
may apply to the Dean for Student Life for positions as Graduate
Resident Tutors. Such positions provide room and board but
no stipend.
International students should be aware that US Homeland Security regulations consider such room
and board to be compensation, i.e., equivalent to stipend.
Therefore, if they are receiving a full research or teaching
assistantship, they would violate immigration restrictions by accepting positions
as graduate resident tutors.
