GRADUATE ASSISTANTS
Kutztown University graduate students may apply for a Graduate Assistantship through the Office of the Vice Provost and Dean of Graduate Studies. The Graduate Studies office can offer more in depth details on this opportunity, including the Application Form.  For more information, Graduate Studies website or visit them in the Stratton Administration Center, or call them at 610-683-4220.

Students are considered a Graduate Assistant (GA) if they have signed a GA contract. Contracts are for the academic year only. Most contracts will offer tuition waivers (excluding fees) and stipend payments. Some contracts will only offer one of these.

Tuition waiver questions can be directed to the Dean of Graduate Studies, either in person (Stratton Administration Center), by e-mail (graduate@kutztown.edu), or by phone (610-683-4220).

The stipend portion of the contract is handled by the student payroll office. GA’s must possess a Work Authorization (WA) card in order to have their stipend payments processed and paid. To do this, the GA must visit the Student Payroll office and complete new hire paperwork and present the necessary documents to complete an I-9 form as well as present their social security card and a copy of their signed contract.
