Appointments and Financial Information


 

Teaching and Research Appointments

Financial assistance for graduate students is provided in the form of teaching and research appointments, fellowships, traineeships, tuition scholarships, and loans. Application for financial aid should be made on the Application for Admission to Graduate Study. All applications for financial assistance are reviewed at the departmental or program level and awards are made to the extent of available funds. Admission to graduate study does not carry any implications concerning the award of financial aid. Only students with full graduate status are eligible for teaching assistantships and fellowships.

In recognition of academic merit, the University offers teaching assistants (TA), teaching fellows (TF), graduate student assistants (GSA), and graduate student researchers (GSR) full or proportional tuition scholarships, and students are required to register for the number of credits proportional to appointment. If appointed in the summer term, students should register for a minimum of 3 credits (or full-time dissertation study, if eligible), unless additional registration is needed for academic purposes.

Policies governing TA/TF/GSA/GSR positions can be found on the Provost’s Guidelines and Resources page.

Tuition Fees and Billing

The University updates the Tuition, Fees, and Billing page in July for the upcoming academic year.
