A limited number of graduate assistantships are available for interested and qualified students each academic year.
The Graduate Assistantship requires a 15 hour/week commitment during the fall and spring semesters when classes are in session. In return, students receive tuition and fee vouchers for up to two Continuing Education Graduate Classes (held during the evening, Saturdays, or online) per semester and a $2,500 stipend per semester (see Award info below for further clarification). Graduate assistants are assigned specific projects from faculty, administrators or staff from across the campus; awards may be given outside the applicant’s academic discipline. The assistantship is designed to last the entire academic year (fall and spring semester) pending a mid-year review by the sponsor. There will also be a year-end evaluation.

Award Information
Graduate assistants are awarded up to two tuition vouchers per semester (fall and spring) when classes are in session (excluding winter sessions) for Continuing Education Graduate Classes (held during the evening, Saturdays, or online). Course vouchers are not transferable and cannot be applied to most practicums, internships or directed/independent studies (see Kim Hardy for clarification on this). Vouchers do not have cash value except towards tuition. Vouchers cannot be applied to any other fees incurred by the student (e.g., books, additional student fees). Vouchers should be submitted with your registration. Vouchers may not be applied retroactively or utilized at other colleges or universities. Expiration dates cannot be extended. Tuition remission is considered a financial resource in any financial aid award. A stipend of $2,500 is received each semester and there is a mid-year review from your assistantship sponsor.
Note: Students will be asked to fill out a CORI/SORI form if selected for an assistantship.
