The 2018-19 academic year is right around the corner, which means that our busy GA processing is here! Did you know that Ashlyn and CC, your Grad Financial Services team, process more than 1,000 GAs for our campus community each year? This means that we need your help to make sure that all GAs are processed in a timely manner, and that new GAs are properly mentored as they transition into their new roles. Please check out the GA Handbook for policies, deadlines, tips, and other fun GA tidbits! Thank you for all you do in helping us ensure we have another successful GA season.
