Please read instructions carefully before completing the Request for Additional Assignment Form . Graduate Assistants carry a full academic load and work 20 hours per week. In order for students to make satisfactory academic progress and fulfill their assistantship responsibilities, it is generally not advisable for them to take on additional assignments. Requests for additional assignments, then, should be infrequent and used primarily for short-term work.
Additional assignments are only available to unusually well-qualified students.
The Graduate School will not approve students with GPAs below 3.2. Students must have the approval of their home department. Prior approval from the Graduate School must be obtained before the initiation of any work. Additional Assignment forms are only to be used for work above 20 hours. The first 20 hours per week must be paid from GA contracts.
