This handbook pertains to graduate assistantships that are offered by, or in conjunction with, the Marquette University Graduate School. These assistantships are administered by individual colleges (including the Graduate School of Management), departments, principal investigators, and the Office of Research and Sponsored Programs. Marquette University reserves the right to change any or all policies, procedures and rules, in whole or in part, at any time with or without notice. Major changes in policies, rules and procedures will be published. It is the responsibility of the graduate assistant to be aware of and abide by these changes.
In some instances, the special nature of the graduate assistant’s department or the grant on which a graduate assistant is working will require policies, rules or procedures that are unique to the needs of that area. Such policies, rules, or procedures will augment but cannot supersede those described in this handbook.
This handbook has been developed with input and review from the Office of General Counsel, the Office of Research and Sponsored Programs, the Office of International Education, the Raynor Memorial Libraries, the University Board of Graduate Studies, the Graduate Student Association and the Graduate Student Task Force. The Graduate School is grateful for the contributions of these groups and other individuals who participated in the development of this handbook.
Please reference the Graduate Assistantship Checklist for convenient reminders for tasks and requirements associated with graduate assistantships.
