Graduate Assistantships

The Department of Learning, Teaching, & Curriculum provides several opportunities to work with professors in a variety of research and teaching roles and each graduate student is encouraged to work with their academic advisor to seek out these experiences.  The department maintains a data base of applications for these positions and a new application is required every year. Each appointment is for one semester only and pending available funds, may be renewed.  There are three titles that we commonly use such as:  Graduate assistantship; Graduate Research Assistantship; & Graduate Teaching Assistantship.  These assistantships generally come with fee waivers applied semester by semester, but a minimum .25 fte (10 hrs/week) assistantship is required to be eligible for a fee waiver.  Fee waivers only include educational fees.  All incidental fees must be paid by the student. Graduate students who hold qualifying assistantships or fellowships from academic departments or qualified non-degree-granting programs and are in good academic standing in their home departments are eligible for the tuition waiver.   Renewal of assistantships is also pending a “satisfactory” annual evaluation by the student’s advisor (as outlined in the Graduate Student Progress System) – see also Annual Review of Progress.

In addition to your academic advisor, feel free to check with staff in the LTC Department: Fran Colley, Academic Advisor, or Cindy Greenwood, Administrative Assistant, who maintains our data base.
