* Separately, 10% and 40% appointments 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% appointment and cover the 8,9,10 unit tuition rate.
Summer Appointments Greater than 50%
The maximum Assistantship appointment for Fall, Winter, and Spring Quarters is 50%. Appointments greater than
50% are allowed during Summer Quarter only, up to a maximum appointment 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 appointments greater than 50% and up to 90% will decrease proportionately as the appointment increases. All students with summer assistantships must enroll in a minimum of 1,2, or 3 units.
Wherever possible, summer appointments of over 50% should be established as single appointments, rather than a combination of smaller appointments so the TAL is calculated correctly.
* Similar to a 40% assistantship during the Academic year, a 60% Summer appointment will NOT provide the full tuition for a student enrolled in 8, 9 or 10 units.
