This publication provides an overview of ASU policies and support services pertinent to teaching and research assistants and associates. It is designed as a resource for graduate students, their academic units, and other hiring units on campus. It includes information related to:
  • General conditions of appointment
  • Benefits
  • Teaching assistant/associate appointments
  • Research assistant/associate appointments
  • Additional resources for teaching and research assistants and associates
The teaching and research assistant/associate role is an important one to the ASU community. It provides graduate students with professional development opportunities that are unique to academia while also supporting the university's teaching, research, and service missions.

This handbook describes the general roles and responsibilities of TAs and RAs as well as policies regarding their supervision and evaluation. The hiring unit is responsible for clarifying the particulars for each student.

While many of the general policies and expectations also apply to graduate service assistants and graduate interns, GSAs and interns are not bound by the same eligibility requirements as TAs and RAs and do not receive the same benefits as TAs and RAs (e.g., tuition remission, health insurance).
