TA/AI and GRA Pay and Assignment Values/PremisesGraduate students should be compensated in accordance with their title. For example, graduate students who have been AIs and then serve as TAs should be paid according to their current title.
In general, students who are enrolled in a master’s program should be compensated based on the degree plan they at the master’s rate, and those who are enrolled in a doctoral program, the PhD rate. (See also Graduate Student Employees - COE Salary Rate Minimums.)
Students who are AIs are expected to be PhDs and compensated the COE AI rate. In the case of PhD students with split appointments (i.e., appointed at AI and TA); they should be paid in accordance with their title for each appointment.
TAs/AIs/GRAs should be limited assigned to 20 hours per week where possible, either through one or more assignments, so that they receive full tuition remission and insurance benefit.
Must consider that overloading graduate students with TA/AI/GRA assignments (i.e., that exceed 20 hours per week) may interfere with their research and course work requirements.
Pay rates should be commensurate with experience. Master’s student pay should be different from PhD student pay.
Monthly pay rates should be similar for TAs/AIs and GRAs. TA/AI appointments are 9 month and appointed per semester. GRA appointments are 12 month and can span fall, spring, and summer.
GRA appointments must include full tuition remission proportional to their effort.
TAs should be assigned to courses, not faculty. Develop clear criteria for the types of courses that require TAs/AIs, e.g., based on enrollment: course structure, content, etc.
TAs should be provided to primarily support graduate students for course-related instructional activity. Must provide appropriate amount of support to faculty based on class and program demands. In making TA/AI assignments, special consideration should be given how to best match curriculum needs with faculty member needs.
