GAs may be assigned as a research assistant or a teaching assistant depending on faculty and department needs. GAs are required to work 20 hours per week. In return, they receive a tuition fee waiver as well as a monthly stipend. For more information visit the GA website at the Graduate School Web Page .
Applications consist of statements of career interests, past employment, and educational experience.

GAs are asked to fill out an application every year to be eligible for re-hire. Graduate special students and students on probation are not eligible for a GA position. Hiring Process Deadlines for applications are October 1st for spring positions and March 1st for fall positions.
