When budgeting for an extramurally funded Graduate Assistant the department is able to choose a tuition, fees, and health insurance package that works with their budget. We encourage departments to offer GA packages that are at least the same as a state-funded GA. Please see a description below of the state-funded details and download the Budgeting for a GA Calculator to determine your GA package.
- Stipend – determined by the student level and department.
- Tuition – $314 per credit up to 9 credits per semester covered (no fees)
- Health Insurance – total cost of health insurance is covered per semester (all GAs will receive this benefit)
- Non-Resident Tuition (if applicable) – total amount waived while the student is a GA (State & extramural)
Note: The information below and budgeting worksheet may also be used by campus units to calculate the cost of extramurally funded departmental GAs. For GA stipend and payroll information please see Payroll & Appointment Information.
If you have any questions, please call the Graduate College at 702-895-4273.
