General Policies

The purposes of graduate assistantships (GA) are to advance the student’s graduate education through practicum‐based experiences, including the development and application of teaching, research and other skills, while also advancing the mission of the institution. They also provide financial support, including stipends and tuition assistance, to aid degree‐seeking students enrolled in USM masters or doctoral programs and appointed as graduate assistants in the pursuit of their graduate degrees.
