Work And
Vacation
Students on
half-time assistantships are expected to devote an average of 20 hours per
week to duties for which the stipend is provided. Students who register
for independent study, thesis research, and doctoral research (NEURO 600, 700,
800) must devote sufficient time to accomplish the goals and intended
objectives that have been set forth by the student, advisor, and the student's
research committee.
Full-time
students must be making satisfactory progress toward their degree. All
graded course work for the degree should typically be completed within the
student's first 2-1/2 years at WSU. All graduate assistants (teaching
or research)
must carry a minimum of 10 hours. However, the program prefers
students carry 18 credits per semester. Research credits can make up
the difference. If a student falls below 10 hours, the assistantship is
canceled and the student may be responsible for repayment of all or
part of the tuition waiver.

During the term of
their appointments, all graduate student service appointees are expected to be
at work each normal workday, including periods when the University is not in
session, with the exception of legal holidays designated by the Board of
Regents. Students holding summer appointments must be present during
the period of the appointments. An academic year appointment and two
months' appointment in the summer are equivalent to an annual appointment.
Three months' appointment in the summer is possible and is the norm for the
Neuroscience Program.
