involved in instruction, usually of undergraduates. Teaching conducted
by GTAs constitutes a significant portion of the total instruction.
Qualified GTAs perform instructional duties in an area of their
particular expertise, most often within their home departments, although
qualified GTAs may perform teaching duties outside their departments.
Duties include:
1. actual instruction in a classroom setting;
2. instruction in recitation sections;
3. conducting help sessions and holding office hours to advise students
on class assignments;
4. assisting with laboratory setup;
5. grading papers, exams, laboratory reports, and homework; and
6. other duties pertaining to the instructional mission .
The faculty members oversee all GTA teaching duties. GTAs are usually
assigned to work from 15 to 20 hours per week.
GTA tuition waivers are available on a limited basis, and eligibility
does not guarantee a waiver. By approval of the department or the
Graduate Vice Provost, graduate assistantships may be terminated,
tuition waivers withdrawn, or salary rates changed at any time.
Appointment approval and continuation authority reside with the Graduate
Vice Provost. The Division of Graduate Education is in no way obligated
to award tuition waivers based on promises made by departments. Refer to
the section on Tuition Waivers.
