Appointment Dates:
Fall - August 15 through December 31
Spring - January 1 through May 14
Summer - May 15 through August 14
Please note that these dates do not follow the academic year.

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:

The current 50% pre-prelim monthly stipend is $2,550
The current 50% pre-comp monthly stipend is $2,650
The current 50% post-comp monthly stipend is $2,750 (increased to $2,800/month effective Fall '21)

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.
