requirements.

Eligibility
To be eligible for a graduate assistantship, applicants must be regularly admitted
to a degree program. Students who are conditionally admitted are not eligible for
assistantships unless their deficiencies are undergraduate prerequisites. Provisionally
admitted and non-degree students are not eligible to apply for assistantships.
Applicants must have an undergraduate GPA of 2.75 or higher.听 Applicants with previous
graduate coursework must have a graduate GPA of 3.0 or higher.
Appointment Process
Students interested in applying for a graduate assistantship must submit an application
form and three letters of recommendation to the department or program in which an
assistantship is desired. Applications should not be made to the Graduate School.听 Application review and interviews are completed by the hiring program/department.
Once a candidate is selected, a Graduate Assistant Request will be submitted to the director of the Graduate School for final approval. Once
approval is granted by the Graduate School, an acceptance letter must be signed by
the candidate. This letter outlines the responsibilities, type of assistantship, and
compensation offered through the assistantship and must be returned to the Graduate
School before the candidate begins work or any tuition waivers are applied. Some departments
have specific requirements for their graduate assistants beyond the Graduate School
minimums; each applicant should inquire with the hiring supervisor regarding additional
requirements. Note: although the Graduate Assistant Application is often submitted
with regular admissions materials, this is not a guarantee that an assistantship will
be awarded. The graduate assistant appointment process is completely separate from
the ULM Graduate School application process.
Graduate assistants will not be appointed after the 14th day of class for regular
semesters; and the 7th day of class for Summer term(s).听
Reappointment
Reappointment is contingent upon two criteria:听the graduate assistant making satisfactory
academic progress, and satisfactory completion of work duties. Graduate assistants

than one grade of C in their graduate coursework.

toward their graduate degree (12 hours for students in pharmacy) during a regular
semester, at least six of which must be at the graduate level.听

Appropriate courses include:
1) Those which are required for the student鈥檚 graduate degree;
2) Those which have been identified as deficiencies/prerequisites and are included
on the graduate student鈥檚 approved degree plan.
Work Load
All graduate assistant appointments include 20 hours of work per week under the direction
of the student鈥檚 supervisor. Graduate assistants are not permitted to hold any other
on-campus employment or second graduate assistantship.
During published student breaks, graduate assistants may not be asked to work. For
unexpected University closures, graduate assistants will not be expected to make up
time missed.

a full tuition waiver and out-of-state fee waiver. Students are also awarded a base
stipend of at least $3,000 per regular term, $1000 per summer term and a minimum of $800 for intersessions
.

fees, activity fees, ID validation fees, technology fees, vehicle registration fees,
