210.2 Graduate Teaching or Research Assistantships

    Graduate Assistantships involve teaching or research duties and are administered according to a central policy of the University. Students must apply directly to their chosen department and should contact the graduate coordinator of that department for details and deadlines. Assistantships are awarded by departments primarily on the basis of academic standing and ability to perform the required duties.

    Most departments suggest that students apply by March 1 before the Winter Term (beginning in September) in which the student hopes to receive an assistantship. Full-time assistantships require an equivalent of 12 hours of work per week over the four-month term of appointment. Part-time assistantships are available in some departments. More detailed information is found in the Regulations Governing Academic Employment of Graduate Students, at www.gradstudies.ualberta.ca.

210.2.1 Other Departmental Support

    Some departments offer other opportunities for graduate student support. Departments may elect to offer students a tuition supplement. Contact the department directly regarding such support.

210.2.2 Research Grant Support

    Support may be available to some students from research grants made to departments or staff members. The amount of support will vary with the nature of the research grant and the regulations of the granting agency. Students should contact their supervisor for more information.
