Each graduate assistant/associate has its own responsibilities tailored to that position. Tasks are assigned by the supervisor (department or faculty member) and can include anything from assisting in a lab, academic counseling, or conducting research in one of the many on-campus departments, labs or clinics. We offer a wide range of graduate assistant/associate positions and the key to finding the one that best fits your needs is by doing your research, speaking with the supervisors, and planning. Explore the dropdowns below to learn the ins and outs of being a graduate assistant.

Please review the Graduate Assistant and Graduate Associate Position Guidelines (PDF - 123KB), which describes the general responsibilities of graduate assistants and associates. |
To be approved for a Graduate Assistant/Associate position, the student must be fully or provisionally admitted to a graduate degree program. To retain a graduate position, the student must maintain academic eligibility and may not be on academic probation.
Note: Non-degree students may not hold graduate assistant or associate positions. Students enrolled for student teaching are ineligible to serve as a graduate assistant/associate that semester.
Graduate Assistants will receive a stipend paid in equal installments via payroll and a tuition grant paid through the Financial Aid Office. The amount of stipend and tuition grant will be indicated on the hiring proposal form.
Graduate Associates are FLSA non-exempt employees and will receive an hourly wage. Graduate Associates must submit timesheets for the hours worked and will also receive a tuition grant paid through the Financial Aid Office. The hourly wage and tuition grant will be indicated on the hiring proposal form.
Stipends are set at $3500/per semester for 20 hours/week of employment. The exact dollar amount of the tuition grant may vary by position.
Contact the department/school/office you are interested in for any available positions and their application procedures.
You must be admitted to a graduate degree to be a graduate assistant; non-degree & unclassified students are ineligible.

Graduate Assistants/Associates must be registered for at least 9 credit hours of course work per semester. Graduate students in their final semester, who have less than 9 hours of coursework remaining to meet degree requirements, may be granted permission to enroll in less than 9 credit hours at the discretion of the Dean of the Graduate School. This may result in a decrease in the amount of the tuition grant.
Once the necessary paperwork has been submitted to the Graduate School Office by your department, Student Financial Services will be notified of your assistantship. Your account will then be credited for the amount which is covered by your tuition grant. Please be sure you pay the fees and any other charges not covered by your grant.
Graduate assistant/associate positions can work up to 20 hours per week, as determined by graduate position and the hiring department. Any additional on-campus employment must be preapproved by The Graduate School office.
By accepting a Graduate Assistant/Associate position, the student understands the importance of this position and affirms their intent not to pursue other positions on campus. Students cannot hold more than one GA position in a semester.
It is your responsibility to drop your schedule. Please also understand that you are still responsible for any fees that may remain as a result of your withdrawal from classes.
