- Graduate Assistantships (GA) – Students who wish to be considered for a graduate assistantship should indicate their intent on the Graduate School Application. Students receiving graduate assistantships must register for at least nine graduate hours per semester within their approved graduate program and work 20 hours per week at their assigned location.
