Graduate Assistantships
The DPLS makes available a limited number of Graduate Assistantships each semester. Gonzaga University policy does not allow Graduate Students to teach courses, so Graduate Assistants perform services for the Program or individual faculty members in return for tuition credit. Each credit of tuition requires approximately 40 hours of service. Documented needs of students traditionally has been more than twice the funding available. Graduate Assistantships are awarded based on need and funding available. Students with assistantships are required to turn in a time sheet to the program coordinator before the last day of each payment cycle.
