Due to policy which began Fall 2018, all grad students hired into a qualifying title of Graduate Research Assistant (jobcode 4715), Graduate Teaching Assistant (jobcode 4717), Graduate Instructor (jobcode 4685), Graduate Library Assistant (strictly for library positions, jobcode 4690), and Graduate Fellow (jobcode 4680) are to be paid the 9-month stipend over 10 months, from August 1st through May 31st, unless prohibited by funding (i.e., granting agency does not allow it).  If paying per semester, fall semester is August 1st through December 31st and spring semester is January 1st through May 31st.  This allows students to receive equal stipend amounts per month for 5 months.  Graduate students paid over 12 months are to continue to be paid the 12-month stipend.  Qualifying titles listed above cannot be paid hourly, but must be paid monthly.  Student responsibilities are for 9 months, and start and end dates need to be decided jointly by employer and student.

Graduate students with assistantships on a 9-month, monthly-paid appointment may be eligible for a pay deferral option to have their assistantship pay allocated over 12 months. Elections for deferred pay must be made prior to the first pay cycle of the academic year and renewed each appointment year. To elect deferred pay, students should complete HR Form 269A at the link below and return it to the hiring department payroll/PAF processor.

Please note: a student may only hold a .25 assistantship if they have another .25 assistantship or a university-funded fellowship at the level of the minimum stipend for a .25 FTE
