Graduate assistantships require full-time enrollment. After arriving on campus, students who are diligent in their search for an assistantship are usually successful. Students are free to investigate assistantships in any department or office at UNCG; openings are listed in the Student Employment Office. Stipends for graduate assistantships (20 hours per week) in CED range upward from $7,000 for the academic year. Doctoral students who receive appointments may be funded for up to three years, usually on a semester or yearly basis. Master's level assistants may be funded for up to two years, usually on a semester or yearly basis. Reappointments to assistantships are contingent on a student's satisfactory academic progress and satisfactory performance of assistantship responsibilities. Master's, intermediate, and doctoral students appointed to Departmental assistantships provide valuable supportive functions for the program.
