Graduate Student Service Appointments (GSSA)
A Graduate Student Service Appointment (GSSA) is a position in which a student is employed by the university to work 20 hours per week and includes tuition and health insurance. A GSSA position in anthropology is generally a teaching assistant appointment (T.A.) or research assistant appointment (R.A.). Teaching appointments are budgeted to the department through the Graduate School, and we generally have about 50 quarterly appointments to offer students each academic year. Eligibility for summer teaching appointments is determined differently. Summer appointments have a separate budget and are run through the evening degree program.
GSSA appointments are covered under the Graduate Student Employee Action Coalition/UAW Union which works to represent the concerns of various graduate student employee positions on campus (TA, RA, Tutors, graders. etc.. ). For information on the union please see the following websites:

Guidelines for holding a teaching assistantship within Anthropology are outlined in the Graduate Student Service Appointment Policies and Procedures Document. This document is available for you to view in detail on the following website:
