Financial Information Research Assistantships Students can be awarded research assistantships either for one semester or for two semesters. SOME research assistantships come with a tuition and registration fee waiver. Research assistants must register for 9 credits each semester. If you received a tuition and registration fee waiver, please read the following information carefully.
Fees are subject to change without notice.
Research assistants must hold the bachelor's degree, be admitted to the Graduate School in a degree program, and enroll for a minimum of 9 credits per semester. Failure to meet these requirements, or failure to maintain an acceptable level of academic work is cause for terminating the assistantship. In order for students to receive their first paycheck on Sept. 1, their contracts and all other payroll information must be turned in to the student payroll office by Aug. 8. The paperwork is sent by department support staff in individual programs to the Graduate School for processing. Students who completed filling out contract paperwork by Aug. 8 will receive their first check on Sept. 1.
