Graduate Assistantships
The School of Business at UHV employs graduate assistants to serve in the capacity of teaching assistants, research assistants or graduate interns, depending upon the needs and budget of the school. Normally, the term of the appointment is on a semester-by-semester basis with renewal contingent on successful academic and graduate assistant performance. Reappointment of a graduate assistant is limited to a maximum of three years.
Full-time graduate assistants are required to devote approximately 20 hours per week each semester to their assignment while maintaining enrollment in graduate coursework, and are expected to devote their time and services solely to their graduate studies and assistantship assignments. In fall and spring semesters, graduate assistants should enroll in a minimum of 9 credit hours each semester; applicants enrolling in fewer than 9 hours need the approval of the department chair and the dean.
Graduate assistants employed during summer sessions are expected to enroll in at least one 3-hour graduate course.
Under Section 54.063 of the Texas Education Code, teaching assistants and research assistants are entitled to register themselves, their spouses and their children by paying the tuition and other fees charged to Texas residents. This residency waiver is without regard to the length of time they have resided in Texas, provided the students are employed at least one-half time in a teaching or research position relating to their degree program.
