Graduate assistants’
performance is reviewed by their supervisors at the end of every term (see
a sample
evaluation form).
-
A graduate assistant may
be terminated at the end of an academic term because of poor performance,
lack of funding availability, or changes in work requirements.
-
A graduate assistant may
be terminated during an academic term if necessary because of poor
performance. The graduate assistant must have been provided with a written
warning from the supervisor and allowed at least 2 weeks to improve
performance. Other terminations require consultation with the Office of
Graduate Education and Life.
-
A graduate assistant may
be terminated without warning for violations of professional or University
standards of conduct (see the Graduate Catalog section on Academic and
Professional Standards and the Campus Student Code for example).
-
Graduate assistants who
are terminated or who resign during an academic term may be required to
refund the University for excess stipend payments and the cost of tuition
waivers and health insurance. Students who are terminated or who resign
prior to the end of the 5th week of classes in a fall or spring term will
be charged for health insurance if they have not waived the plan. Consult
with the Office of Graduate Education and Life.
