The History Department offers a limited number of assistantships to graduate students to help fund their graduate education. These assistantships normally require the recipient to serve as a classroom assistant to faculty members teaching large sections of the introductory courses.
Duties include--but are not necessarily limited to--attending all classes, taking attendance, holding office hours, meeting with students, preparing class materials, and grading papers. Assistantships will normally be awarded for one full academic year assuming competent performance of assigned duties and acceptable progress toward completion of the degree.
Assistantships, which may be renewed for one additional year on the same basis, will be awarded by the graduate faculty, with the chair's approval, on the basis of the recommendation of the Graduate Committee.
To maintain an assistantship:
a. The student must enroll in at least 9 hours of graduate course work during each long semester until all course work is completed; at least three of those hours must be in history. Students may not take more than 9 hours of graduate work in any long semester without the approval of the director of graduate studies and the department chair.
b. Students on assistantships must maintain at least a 9 hour load for the entire semester. Failure to do so will result in the loss of the assistantship the following semester.
c. Students wishing to receive an assistantship for their second year must submit a form to the director of graduate studies requesting a renewal by March 31. In addition such students must have completed satisfactorily 15 graduate hours by the beginning of their third long semester.
d. No student with more than one incomplete grade at the beginning of the spring semester will be eligible to retain their assistantship for that semester.
e. No second year student with an incomplete grade at the beginning of the fall semester will be eligible for an assistantship for that semester.
