Graduate Teaching Assistants, Graduate Research Assistants and Graduate Assistants, Graduate Studies, University of Kansas Medical Center
The Office of Graduate Studies maintains the official list of GTA/GRA/GAs. Each semester a new list is prepared that includes the student's name, KUID, department, appointment type and percent (FTE) for the appointment. This list is sent to the Registrar's Office, Student Financial Aid, Student Financial Accounting, and the Budget Office so they in turn, can apply appropriate tuition waivers to student accounts based on appointment type and FTE. Policies governing assistantships are detailed in the Academic Catalog.
