The Office of Graduate Studies maintains the official list of GTA/GRA/GAs. Each semester a new list is prepared
that includes the student’s name, KUID, department, appointment type and percent (FTE) for the appointment.
This list is sent to the Registrar’s Office, Student Financial Aid, Student Financial Accounting, and the
Budget Office so they in turn, can apply appropriate tuition waivers to student accounts based on appointment type
and FTE. Policies governing assistantships are detailed on pages 27-29 of the Graduate School Catalog.
