Graduate Assistantship
Graduate Assistantship's are posted on JMU's JobLink prior to the beginning of the semester. If you are interested be sure to check JobLink frequently. If you are not selected for the department you preferred please be sure to check other departmental listings for graduate assistantships.

- Graduate assistantships in a department (20 hours/wk) offer a tuition waiver equivalent to three classes per semester and a living stipend that is paid on a bi-weekly basis. Contract dates vary by department and details (stipends, tuition waivers, time requirements, etc.) will be discussed when an offer has been extended.
- To be eligible students must be unconditionally or conditionally accepted into a graduate program.
- Positions are limited so early application is encouraged—(Jan-Feb. for following Fall).
- Positions may be offered as soon as a student has been accepted to graduate school. Positions remain open until filled.
