Graduate Assistantships
Graduate assistantships are academic appointments reserved for graduate and professional students. Appointments to teaching assistant, research assistant, or administrative fellow positions are offered through various departments. A teaching assistant helps teach students in a specified course or courses under the general supervision of the academic staff and may be assigned primary responsibility for an entire course. A research assistant carries out activities connected with research studies assigned by the supporting department or principal research investigator. An administrative fellow performs duties of a specialized nature connected with academic administration.
To be eligible to hold one of these appointments, a student must have been admitted to the Graduate School or a professional school and be registered in the Graduate School or professional school each term of the appointment; this applies to appointments of any percentage or any number of hours.
