Graduate Assistantships
All graduate assistants should make sure they are aware of the following valuable resources and key information.
Current Postings
Graduate students that meet the GA eligibility requirements may apply for any type of open GA position. Assistantships are awarded on a competitive basis. Many departments make their graduate assistant hiring decisions three to four months prior to the start of the term.
Employment Verification
Former and current GA s that need proof of employment must submit the Request for Verification of Employment form to the Graduate School. Request forms can be submitted by emailing graduateschool@siue.edu. Requests for GA employment verification from outside organizations will only be granted with a signed release from the current/former student. If you have questions about GA employment records please call 618-650-3164.
