Resignation or Dismissal

Graduate assistants may resign a graduate assistantship position due to professional or personal reasons. However, customary with professional standards of practice, a letter or resignation and advance notice are preferred to allow for transition of the position. If the resignation occurs during the course of an academic semester, compensation and tuition waiver will be pro-rated to the date of the resignation. A student who resigns a graduate assistantship position in good standing may reapply and accept another award in the future if eligibility criteria are met.

Graduate assistants are expected to follow all university policies and procedures in fulfillment of their work and academic responsibilities. Failure to perform professional duties, demonstrate good work habits, maintain good academic standing, or follow university policies and procedures will result in corrective or disciplinary measures, from mentoring and coaching to potential termination of the graduate assistantship award.
