The minimum hours required must be graduate hours taken for credit, or deficiencies (graduate or undergraduate) filed by the department with the Graduate School. Audit classes, PEAC classes, and/or classes not approved by the student's advisor are not covered by the tuition fee waiver.

Termination of an appointment during a semester may result in the student being responsible for a portion of the fees (in-state tuition) on a pro rata basis.

All International graduate teaching assistants MUST have a TSE score of 50 or better, or a SPEAK score of 220 or better on file with the Graduate School. Exceptions must have the approval of the Dean of the Graduate School.

All graduate assistants meeting the minimum required hours will be considered full-time.
