UW Policies

Academic Student Employees

The University provides for the employment of many graduate students as teaching, research, and staff assistants, predoctoral associates, predoctoral instructors, and predoctoral lecturers. Approximately three thousand five hundred such appointments were made during the past year.

The policies regarding these appointments can be found at:

Graduate appointments are granted to graduate students only. An initial appointment may be offered to a student before being admitted formally to the Graduate School, but the appointment is contingent upon admission to graduate status before the beginning of the appointment.

Graduate students and prospective graduate students who wish to apply for a graduate student service appointment should talk to the department in which they wish to be appointed.
