Position Requirements
College of Education graduate assistant opportunities are one-year appointments for the entire academic year listed for the posting. This includes hours requirements during university student break periods (winter and spring) when the college is still open. Positions can be offered as full-time (600 hours/year) or part-time (300 hours/year), but are one-year appointments only with no exceptions. Applicants who cannot work the entire academic year are not eligible for these COE positions and are encouraged to seek other college and university job opportunities. All full-time and part-time hours are completed on-site and primarily during COE regular operating hours Monday-Friday between the hours of 9 a.m.-5 p.m. However, some COE units require and schedule GA assistance outside of these hours. Graduate assistant weekly work schedules are determined by the needs of the hiring area with the hiring supervisor providing the final schedule.
Remuneration
Remuneration for full-time GA spots
A GA receives tuition remission for two (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; it cannot be rolled over into future quarters or used during the summer. Tuition posts after the applicable drop date each quarter. If, however, you are registered for any additional course(s) and have any student fees on your account, then you must pay for these by the university set due date each quarter. Both quarterly due dates and the last day to drop courses dates are listed on the university academic calendar page.
In addition to tuition remission, a GA receives a stipend. For this position, a GA will work approximately 15.75 hours per week fall through spring quarter, including course break periods when COE offices are still open (e.g. December intersession and spring break), and no more than 600 hours for the academic year.
Remuneration for half-time GA spots
A GA receives tuition remission for one (4 credit-hour) course per quarter for three quarters: fall, winter and spring.

Tuition posts after the applicable drop date each quarter. If, however, you are registered for any additional course(s) and have any student fees on your account, then you must pay for these by the university set due date each quarter. Both quarterly due dates and the last day to drop courses dates are listed on the university academic calendar page.
