Student Opportunities
Graduate Assistants are appointed by each of the departments and programs in the School of Education:
Before applying, interested students should first familiarize themselves with the role(s) of Graduate Assistants in the School of Education as articulated on-line at Adacemic Departments and Programs and/or the School of Education Academic Support Center. The School of Education is not accepting applications at this time. Applications will be accepted beginning FEBRUARY 1 of each year. Assistantships begin the following fall quarter. Application deadline is APRIL 15. Applicants must be current School of Education students or currently in the process of admittance for fall quarter. Your SOE enrollment/application status should be noted in your application. Graduate Assistants receive tuition remission for 2 (4 credit-hour) courses per quarter for three quarters: Fall, Winter, and Spring. Tuition remission must be used in the quarter in which it is awarded, and cannot be rolled over into future quarters or used during the summer. In addition to tuition remission, Graduate Assistants receive a stipend. They work no more than 20 hours per week for each of the 10 weeks during the quarter. Departmental supervisors distribute work assignments, which may include the following: conducting literature reviews; collecting and analyzing data; copy editing or updating content of faculty papers; carrying out initial journal searches; and providing assistance in writing grants and preparing articles. Graduate Assistants may also be asked to perform copying and or filing duties related to ongoing research activities, though this will not make up the majority of their workload.
