Graduate Assistant Appointment Procedure

Graduate assistantships are available in most University academic departments/schools, administrative units, and in the residence halls. The graduate assistant is assigned responsibilities that directly contribute to the individual's professional career. A graduate assistant receives a monthly stipend plus a tuition fellowship. For specific information related to eligibility criteria, hours, stipends, academic load, and tuition fellowships, see Regulation 1310 Appointment Criteria.

Graduate students must apply for an assistantship directly to the appointing unit through the online system. For information regarding use of this system, download the Online Graduate Assistant Recruiting & Hiring Guide.
