Time Restriction For GTA Support

This time restriction would apply to the ninth year after the student enters the program. For example, if a student enters the program in fall 2009, a time restriction would apply to GTA support for the fall semester of 2017. The department will normally not give GTA support to students beyond their eighth year in the graduate program. To request GTA support for semesters after the eighth year would require a letter from the graduate advisor to the department head describing the circumstances that justify the continued GTA support for the student. Moreover, the student could continue on GRA support or personal funds. Our hope is that the mandated annual meetings of the student and his/her committee will mean that the restriction on GTA support rarely comes into play. Questions regarding this policy should be brought to the Department Head.
