“Academic apprentice personnel” are academic student employees (Readers, Tutors, Special Readers, Remedial Tutors, and Teaching Assistants) and Graduate Student Researchers (GSRs). As a matter of University policy, academic apprentice personnel considered primarily as students being professionally trained, and graduate student status takes precedence over University employment. These apprenticeships are intended to provide qualified students with relevant training experience for academic and academic-related careers in teaching and research and to augment limited resources from within the University for Graduate Student Support.
There are two types of Academic Apprentice Personnel: Academic Student Employees (ASEs) and Graduate Student Researchers (GSRs).
