Appointment percentage:
The university limits GRA AY appointments to 50% (20 hours/wk) and 100% (40 hours/wk) during the summer. Appointment percentages vary by project, supervisor and are often constrained by budget limitations. A GRA can hold no less than a 15% appointment to receive tuition remission and the number of credits included in the tuition remission is pro-rated based on the appointment percentage (see table below). Any appointment in addition to a 50% GRA needs prior approval by the Graduate School.
 

Stipend:

Starting spring 2023 the 50% pre-comp monthly stipend is $2987/ month
Starting spring 2023 the 50% post-comp monthly stipend is $3090/month 

Tuition:

Tuition remission covers tuition and 70% of the Gold Comprehensive Insurance Plan. It is the GRAs responsibility to pay the remainder of the insurance and all mandatory fees. Some fellowships do allow for the payment of fees but department appointments do not.
