IMPORTANT! The Graduate School will be conducting a spring Graduate Assistant Orientation February 12th from 10-12 in the Maple/Dogwood room in the MUC. This training will contain important information for ALL graduate assistants, not just new GA’s. Please mark your calendar! We strongly encourage you to attend so that you are fully aware of your rights and responsibilities as a graduate assistant.
If you are still interested in finding an assistantship for spring, visit our website to view postings or contact the individual departments to find openings. In addition to contacting your major department, you may consider looking at student affairs, the library, or other academic departments for opportunities.
If you already have an assistantship lined up for the spring, here are some important items to consider...
- Do NOT begin working until you have signed your contract. Students who begin working before the contract is processed may not receive payment for those days.
- Your assistantship may provide a tuition waiver. You are still responsible for all fees.
- Read the handbook!
- If you make any changes to your classes once the semester begins, contact the Graduate School right away. Even if it seems like a simple switch, it may impact your tuition waiver and we need to update the system.
Please send an email to graduateschool@siue.edu if you have any questions.
