As a graduate assistant, you must devote a minimum of 20 hours a week to assistantship responsibilities and maintain full-time graduate status. Graduate assistants receive a stipend as well as a tuition remission. Normally, graduate assistants receive an appointment for the academic year beginning with fall term.

 

 

There are three types of graduate assistantship appointments:

  • Graduate Teaching Assistants (GTA)

    Students are engaged in instruction and have primary responsibility for one or more class sections (e.g., lecture, laboratory, or discussion sessions).

  • Graduate Assistants (GA)

    Students are assigned non-instructional or nonteaching duties. These duties require service to the university and should be in support of an instructional, research, or public service function.

    •  

  • Graduate Research Assistants (GRA)

    Students participate in separately funded research program activities or support a departmental research effort. These activities can be applicable to the graduate degree as a research component.

Assistantships are available through individual departments or programs and you should contact them directly for more information regarding assistantship availability.
