CCAS is raising the salaries of Graduate Assistants (GAs) in AY23-24. CCAS GA salaries for FY23 will be as follows (by semester):
- 1-5 hours per week = $1,250 per semester
- 6-10 hours per week = $2,500 per semester
- 11-15 hours per week = $3,750 per semester
- 16-20 hours per week = $5,000 per semester
A salary on a full year package which was previously $9,500 will be raised to $10,000.
A student may not work more than 20 hours per week in all University positions, combined. A 10-hour GA, for example, may hold a second GW position that requires 10 hours or fewer per week. By contrast, a 20-hour GA or GRA may not hold any other salaried position at GW.
Background Checks
Background checks are required for all first-time GAs and GRAs. Details on the background check requirement are sent to the student by University Human Resources. Students who do not successfully complete the background check are not permitted to serve as GAs or GRAs.
