To be eligible for appointment to a position of Assistant Instructor, the applicant must have met all requirements for Regular Admission to Graduate Studies.

Assistant Instructors are usually appointed for one academic year, i.e., two semesters, and may have the position renewed for a second year. In some circumstances a position of Assistant Instructor may be limited to a single semester. Only in the most unusual of circumstances will an Assistant Instructor be considered for appointment for a fifth semester. Retention of the position of Assistant Instructor is at all times conditional upon the continued good standing of the student in Graduate Studies and upon satisfactory performance of work assignments for which the stipend is provided.

A half-time assistant instructor normally is responsible for two courses, or four laboratories, or twenty clock hours of duty each week and is expected to be enrolled in six to nine semester hours of course work each semester. Such instructors generally may not hold other salaried positions from the University. Any exception to this rule may be made only upon written approval of the appropriate academic dean. A stipend is paid semi-monthly. All assistant instructors must pay tuition and fees as required of all resident students.

Applications for positions of Assistant Instructor may be obtained from the office of the appropriate academic dean.
