  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 (outside of the classroom).  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 of credit (NEURO 600,700 or 800).  If a student falls below 10 credit hours, the assistantship is canceled and the student may be responsible for repayment of all or part of the tuition waiver.
