Students can be awarded teaching assistantships either for one semester or for two semesters. All teaching assistantships come with a tuition and registration fee waiver. If you received a teaching assistantship, please read the following information carefully.
Fees are subject to change without notice.
Teaching 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 and work performance, 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.
