If you want to be reappointed, you must maintain a satisfactory academic record and perform your assigned duties in accordance with the regulations stipulated by the employer or the graduate school making the award. Reappointments are also subject to the availability of sufficient funds. You may hold only one graduate assistantship during any given quarter. If your term of appointment runs for an academic year, you are expected to report for duty on the first day of orientation week during the fall quarter and to work through the last day of final exam week in June. If your term of appointment runs for a full year, you are required to work through the last day of final exam week in September.
Time off is arranged according to a schedule specified by the employer.
If you fail to appear on the assigned day, you will lose your assistantship award. NUTAs receive tuition benefits for ten hours of work a week. Overload Conditions for Graduate Assistants Graduate assistants are expected to devote full time to their studies and the duties of their award. The hours worked during the weeks between quarters may be added to those allowed for overload work. International students awarded a NUTA may be granted authorization by the ISO to engage in an additional ten hours per week of employment.
