Graduate assistantships provide a tuition waiver in exchange for work in a college office. It is applied to graduate study during the term in which the work of the assistantship is being completed. Typically, a student works 10 hours per week during a 15-week semester in exchange for the tuition equivalent of one three-credit course.

Assistantships are awarded each semester to both full- and part-time graduate students. To apply, a student must already be accepted into a graduate program. Unless otherwise indicated in a particular job description, students are eligible for all assistantships, regardless if the assistantship is sponsored through their particular graduate program's School/College.

Assistantships can be found in all Schools and Colleges on campus. Departments such as art, biology, education, the First Year Center, Admissions, Center for Service Learning, and many more sponsor graduate assistantships.
