The department head is responsible for determining the applicability of student status to the appointment and the work schedule to be met. This exemption does not apply to salary paid to students of other universities when employed by The University of Tulsa, nor does it apply to The University of Tulsa students employed elsewhere. Federal Work-Study student employees are required to meet the same performance standards as regular employees of the university. All appointments of graduate students are made by the Graduate School, in accordance with established procedures in that office. Graduate assistants are considered students and are not eligible for employee benefits.
Withholding tax is the only deduction made from a graduate assistant's check.
These forms are available in the Offices of Personnel Services and Payroll. Departments are responsible for notifying Student Financial Services or the Graduate School Office to stop the processing of checks once the employee no longer works for the department.
