• 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.
