Graduate assistantships are awarded through the Faculty of Arts to full-time graduate students in humanities and social sciences. These awards are based primarily on academic standing and are awarded on a competitive basis by the "Assistantship Committee," for a maximum of five terms. Students must be in the research-based stream to be eligible.
Students in the two-year program who have been selected to receive an Arts Assistantship will initially be awarded a one-year assistantship (three terms) and may be renewed on a pro-rated basis for an additional one or two terms (eight months). Students in the one year program that have been awarded an Arts Assistantship will be awarded one full year (three terms). In all cases degree fees and program fees must be paid by the holders of these awards. Students who were successful in obtaining an Arts Assistantship are assigned light duties such as marking essays, conducting tutorials, assisting with research, etc.
