Eligibility
To be eligible for a graduate assistantship, applicants must be regularly admitted

Once a candidate is selected, a Graduate Assistant Request will be submitted to the director of the Graduate School for final approval. Once
approval is granted by the Graduate School, an acceptance letter must be signed by
the candidate. This letter outlines the responsibilities, type of assistantship, and
compensation offered through the assistantship and must be returned to the Graduate
School before the candidate begins work or any tuition waivers are applied. Some departments
have specific requirements for their graduate assistants beyond the Graduate School
minimums; each applicant should inquire with the hiring supervisor regarding additional
requirements. Note: although the Graduate Assistant Application is often submitted
with regular admissions materials, this is not a guarantee that an assistantship will
be awarded. The graduate assistant appointment process is completely separate from

of the student’s supervisor. Graduate assistants are not permitted to hold any other
