Please review the Graduate Assistantship and Graduate Associateship Position Guidelines (pdf-37KB), which describe the general responsibilities of graduate assistants and associates.
Graduate assistantship and associate positions provide a form of financial assistance available to qualified graduate students. Students who are awarded graduate assistantships or associateships are required to work on campus, and in return receive a stipend and tuition grant. Stipends are set at $3500/per semester for 20 (twenty) hours/week of employment. The exact dollar amount of the tuition grant may vary by position.
Graduate assistantships and associateships are awarded to students who are fully and provisionally admitted to graduate degree programs. To retain a graduate assistantship or associateship, the student must maintain academic eligibility and may not be on academic probation. Non-degree students may not hold graduate assistantships/associateships. Students enrolled for student teaching are ineligible to serve as a graduate assistant/associate that semester. Students must enroll in a minimum of 9 (nine) hours of course credit for their Employment and Tuition Grant electronic form (Student ePAF) to be processed.
