Final Reminder: Administrative Graduate Assistant Requests for non-academic offices for AY 2026-2027 are due today

Non-academic offices that wish to request an administrative graduate assistant for AY 2026-2027 should complete and submit the Administrative Graduate Assistant Request Form by the close of business on Dec. 15, 2025. To submit a request, click here or visit the Graduate Assistantship webpage of The Graduate School website to access the form and see other important facts on graduate assistants.

If your area received an administrative graduate assistant allocation previously, you are required to re-apply each year. This application does not relate to departmental graduate assistants or graduate teaching assistants, but rather to non-academic offices that typically hire or would want to hire an administrative graduate assistant for various administrative tasks. 

The stipend for an administrative graduate assistant must be paid out of the hiring department’s budget. Stipend amounts will often vary according to the hiring area. The minimum pay rate for administrative graduate assistants is $10 hourly. 

Review and notification:

Requests will be reviewed by The Graduate School, and decisions will be sent by email to all requestors in mid-January 2026.
