Stipends

The minimum stipend for graduate student assistants pursuing a masters degree is $600 per month for a 50 percent appointment. For graduate student assistants who have completed a master's program or its equivalent and are enrolled in a doctoral program, the minimum stipend is
$700 per month for a 50 percent appointment.

Monthly rates are established each semester. In most cases, if the application form is submitted in a timely manner to the department, students will see their GATF credited t their fee bill before semester fees are due, leaving only the mandatory and course fees payment obligation and any other deb incurred. For students who apply after or just before the fee bill due date, the fee bill must be paid before the GATF is credited to the account. Failure to pay all fees by the due date may result in the GATF being revoked until payment is made. If a student has any outstanding debt owed to the university coming into the semester, the debt must be paid before the GATF is credited.
