Each semester, large volumes of Graduate Assistant (GA) reappointments must be completed. To aid in this procedure, the Graduate Mass Appointments process allows you to reappoint more than one employee at a time. 

Note: The minimum appointment dates for Graduate Assistants for Spring 2021 remain unchanged and should reflect the original semester dates through April 30, 2021. Graduating international students on certain visa types (F-1 and J-1 students) are not authorized to continue to work beyond graduation (April 23, 2021) without additional work authorization documentation.

Graduate Assistant Mass Appointments

GA Mass Appointments are entered by Department Representatives in OMNI HR and then made available in batches to Department Managers and Sponsored Research (where applicable) for approval.
