Graduate Assistantship Information for Spring 2021

As always, graduate assistants must report to work on the Thursday before the first day of classes.  Because of the change in schedule for the Spring 2021 semester, that date has changed to January 14, 2021.  The last day of work will be the same: May 7, 2021.

All graduate assistants must enter hours in Kronos on January 14 or 15 to be paid for the ST-2 pay period.  The amount of pay will not change; graduate assistants receive one-ninth of their semester stipend for each pay period.
