Graduate Stipends
|
|
A typical graduate student "full-time" employment is a 50%
appointment, which equates to working 20 hours a week for the university.
For teaching assistants, a 50% appointment generally is fulfilled
by teaching 3 bi-weekly discussion sections, 6 weekly discussion sections,
3 lab sections, or 15 tutoring room hours (full 60 minute tutoring hours
vs. 50 minute discussion hours). For project assistants and research
assistants, the duties are specified by the person paying the assistantship.
For fellowships, a student is theoretically free to do anything as long
as progress towards graduating is made. Mixed appointments divided
between TA and PA are allowed as both are eligible for tuition remission.

a) Other stipends can be calculated
from the Academic Year 50% values.
- Annual Basis appointment stipends may be calculated from the Academic
Year data
based on Academic Year = 9 months pay and Annual Basis = 11 months pay.
- 33% and 17% appointment stipends are directly scaled values from
the 50% value.
b) If the TA or PA appointment
is < 33% then the student must PAY Tuition!!!
c) If the Fellowship or RA appointment
is >= 33% then the student is eligible for
Non-Resident Tuition Remission (NRTR). Eligible RA appointments >=
33% also receive
a $100/semester Resident Tuition Remission.

Graduate Tuition

Essentially, this
section applies only to Research
Assistants and Fellowship appointees.
Research assistant and fellowship appointments at 33% or more are eligible
for remission of the non-resident portion of tuition (NRTR). Teaching
and project assistants are eligible for remission of all tuition as long
as their appointment is at 33% or more. As a reference,
tuition rates from Fall 2002 - Spring 2003 are listed in the tables
below. It is important
to note that tuition rates for Fall 2003 will be set sometime at the end
of July 2003 by the University of Wisconsin System Board of Regents.
