Graduate Resident Life Assistantships
Each semester, a limited number of Resident Life Assistantships are offered to qualified
graduate students. The program provides valuable professional development experience.
Applications are reviewed by Residence Life department. Graduate Residence Life assistantship application
The maximum amount of tuition waiver that can be awarded is five credits per semester
in exchange for the student's service in Residence Life. The student must be registered
for at least one more credit per semester than the amount which will be waived under the Assistantship. Assistants are under
direct and assigned supervision.
Typical duties may include educational research, editing educational materials, assisting
in classroom or laboratory instruction, administrative responsibilities, assisting
with the production of written reports or documents and other appropriate assignments.
Due to the time required to perform this service (40 hours for each credit awarded),
students who are employed full time usually do not qualify for the award. Students
that withdraw from the term will have their Graduate Residence Life Assistantship
award prorated based on the hours worked.
All Graduate Residence Life Assistantship applicants must show proof of health insurance
coverage or waive their rights to medical expense claims prior to formally being offered
an Assistantship position. Students must submit a Health Insurance Clearance Form
to the hiring supervisor and proof of health insurance if they have existing coverage.
Students have the option to purchase health insurance from Cal Lutheran at the Business
Services Office.
