Applications for Teaching Assistantships may be obtained from the office of the School of Graduate Studies.

The department or program in which the student will serve as a teaching assistant or research assistant may establish additional criteria for the receipt of an assistantship. Only Masters and Doctoral students pursuing a degree full time are eligible to receive Graduate Assistantships. Thus, graduate students must be enrolled in courses totaling 9 credits each semester. Recipients provide a minimum of twenty hours per week of appropriate professional service for the department or office to which they are assigned.

An undergraduate average of 3.0 on a 4-point scale is the minimum average considered for awards form applicants without previous graduate study. Matriculated graduate students and applicants with prior graduate study should present a 3.0 or higher (if required by department) for all graduate coursework.
