Stipend payment is broken up within the Pay Dates that fall within your assistantship appointment and is not based on the hours worked during specific Pay Periods. Assistants do not need to enter anything into Workday in order to be paid.<\/p>\n If you experience an issue with your payment, please contact the Graduate School at gradstudentservices@montclair.edu<\/a>.<\/p>\n Yes!\u00a0You should know that there are many different offers for graduate assistants. The amount of credits that you are required to register for each semester is listed on the Details of Your Offer sheet. If you can’t meet this requirement, there are several situations that will allow you to be enrolled in fewer than your required credits for a given semester. These include:<\/p>\n Can I hold another on-campus position while I hold an assistantship?<\/strong><\/p>\n It depends. Those graduate assistants with fewer than 15 service hours per week (Weekly Service Hours (WSH)), may be able to hold another position on campus. Graduate Assistants may not work more than a total of 20 hours per week during the academic year. If your WSH are 15 hours or more, generally you may not have another on-campus position. Any graduate assistant who is considering another on-campus job should check with The Graduate School to be sure that it is compliant with University policies. Human Resources will not permit an additional position if they do not have an approval from The Graduate School.<\/p>\n Do I have to submit a time sheet to be paid?<\/strong><\/p>\n No. Students who are receiving a stipend as a part of their assistantship package will automatically be paid on a bi-weekly basis. The total stipend will be broken up evenly throughout the term of the assistantship. However, please note that you should defer to your Assistantship Supervisor regarding the appropriate procedure for tracking or logging your hours within your department.\u00a0 You will find the schedule of paydates under the Assistantship Payment link on this page.<\/p>\n If I don\u2019t use all of the credits of tuition remission that were available to me this year, can I use them in the next academic year?<\/strong><\/p>\n No. Tuition remission does not carry over from year to year. You cannot bank credits and you cannot borrow credits. If you do not use all of the credits that were included in your assistantship package for the current academic year you will lose them.\u00a0 However, if you have credits remaining, you may use them during the summer following <\/i>your term of appointment.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n Jump to: Required Onboarding Steps Terms and Policy Forms for Assistants International Students Assistantship Payment Assistantship FAQs Resources for Assistants Required Onboarding Steps To begin your graduate assistantship and receive stipend payments, please complete the steps below as soon as possible.
