<p class="MsoNormal">Each semester, volumes of graduate assistant reappointments need to be completed. The Graduate Mass Appointments process opens on October 24 for the Spring 2023 semester. This process allows a department to reappoint more than one graduate
employee at a time. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Where practicable, graduate assistants appointed in both the fall and spring semesters should have a continuous appointment, and departments should prioritize issuing such appointments before appointing graduate assistants for an individual
semester.<span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"> </span>
Appointments may not exceed one calendar year. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Effective August 2022, appointments on a semester basis must have a minimum appointment period of at least five business days prior to the start of classes through the last day of finals (as outlined in the academic calendar).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Departments requiring advanced preparation of graduate assistant assignments before the first day of classes, such as course development, planning or preparation, required training (including
<a name="_Int_eFf94Dc0">PIE</a>), or pre-semester meetings, shall establish the start date of the appointment to provide a reasonable length of time to accomplish this work. Additionally, departments shall continue the appointment period through the grade submission
deadline for assignments requiring grading duties. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If unforeseen or exceptional circumstances arise, a limited appointment may be for less than the minimum appointment period. In this case, the department shall provide an explanation to the Office of Human Resources, who will review the
appointment.<o:p></o:p></p>
