Graduate Assistantship Handbook
A Unique Dual Role
As a graduate student with an assistantship or fellowship, you help to advance our teaching, research, and service mission—and your role is unlike any other on campus.
This handbook is for both you and the supervisors who guide your work. It identifies broad expectations, summarizes relevant ÎÚÑ»ÊÓƵ policies, and offers strategies for navigating challenges. It is meant to foster transparency, support your academic and professional growth, and promote healthy working and learning environments. Many departments also have assistantship guidelines specific to their individual graduate programs; and these should be read alongside this document.
