Policy FAQs
Yes. However, the distribution of payment may vary by office. For example, one office might pay its GA for fall and spring semesters but not during the winter break, but will distribute the GA’s paycheck without interruption for the full academic year. We encourage all GAs to learn how their assigned office will distribute payment.
