Time Limits Master's and Doctoral students are generally only supported from University or Departmental general funds for a maximum of two and four years, respectively. Similar time limits apply to students funded by external research projects. Extensions beyond these limits need to be discussed with the Department Chair. Each teaching or research assistant should be provided with a written description of their responsibilities by their Advisor or Supervisor. The faculty member will also provide the student, GPD, and Chair a brief written evaluation of the student's performance each semester.
Satisfactory performance is a primary condition for continuation of financial aid.
