Graduate Research and Teaching Assistantships (GRA/GTA) are awarded on a competitive basis. The GTA or GRA cannot be awarded to probationary or provisional students. In addition, GTAs are not usually awarded the first semester.

Graduate Research Assistantships are awarded at the discretion of individual faculty members and are subject to available funding. They are very competitive and are typically obtained by contacting the professor once you are on campus, enrolled as a full-time graduate student.
