* Separately, 10% and 40% Assistantships do not provide tuition allowance sufficient to cover the corresponding
1,2,3 and 8,9,10 tuition rates. Combined, they do equal a 50% Assistantship and cover the 8,9,10 unit tuition rate.
Summer Assistantships Greater than 50%
The maximum Assistantship appointment for Fall, Winter, and Spring Quarters is 50%. Assistantships greater than
50% are allowed during Summer Quarter only, up to a maximum Assistantship of 90%.
Eligibility for Assistantships during Summer Quarter is no different than for other quarters, except that the
enrollment requirement (minimum of 8 units enrollment) becomes 1 unit in the Summer Quarter.

Tuition Allowance for Assistantships greater than 50% and up to 90% will decrease proportionately as the
Assistantship increases.
Wherever possible, Summer Assistantships of over 50% should be established as a single Assistantship, rather
than a combination of smaller Assistantships so the TAL is calculated correctly.
* Similar to a 40% Assistantship during the Academic year, a 60% Summer Assistantship will NOT provide the full
tuition for a student enrolled in 8, 9 or 10 units.
