Term Limits
The term of a postgraduate appointment is typically one year, renewable for a second year. Short-term appointments of less than one year are possible, but they are not renewable. The purpose of a postgraduate appointment is to: (1) acquire advanced training necessary to obtain a professional license; or, (2) prepare applications to graduate, medical, or other professional school. Requests for a third year in a postgraduate appointment will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.
Compensation
The University shall establish minimum annual compensation for postgraduate appointments. Postgraduate appointments are full-time. In limited circumstances, the University may grant an exception to the full-time requirement. Requests for part-time postgraduate appointments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.
