Full- and Part-Time Graduate Assistant Timesheet Entry

Follow these dates and guidelines to ensure you are paid accurately and in a timely manner during your graduate assistantship. Entering your hours as listed into eServices will ensure you are paid consistently across the semester and accounts for breaks.

Hours worked:

  • Full-time GAs are expected to work 20 hours per week except for denoted holidays/breaks.
  • Part-time GAs are expected to work 10 hours per week except for denoted holidays/breaks.

If you are using Earned Safe and Sick Time (ESST), this replaces your work hours 1 for 1, and work time does not need to be made up.
