Applying for a Graduate Assistantship

Graduate assistantships are based on academic and/or professional excellence. Recipients receive tuition remission and a stipend (salary) to work approximately 20 hours per week on assigned professional responsibilities.

Contact the department/school/office you are interested in for any available positions and their application procedures. You should check the Student Employment Services website for a listing of all university job openings. If you have any problems with the website, please contact Student Employment in Eppley Administration Building, Room 205. You must be admitted to a graduate degree or certificate program to be a graduate assistant; non-degree and unclassified students are ineligible.
