Financial Assistance Graduate Assistantships Graduate assistantships are available in various departments and service areas to qualified students.
Stipends vary depending upon the student s qualifications and duties assigned.
Since graduate assistants have responsibilities for their own studies and for services to the University, they are discouraged from seeking other employment while holding an assistantship. A graduate assistant is expected to be a full-time graduate student. When the course load includes both undergraduate and graduate courses, there must be a minimum of 6 graduate credits. For example, full-time graduate student status may be obtained with 6 graduate credits and at least 4 undergraduate credits. The applicant for a graduate assistantship must have been admitted to a graduate program and meet additional qualifications.
