Graduate Assistantship Info for Students

Please watch for an email from Vector LMS, with links to required trainings. Faculty, staff and student employees of Millersville University are required to complete several online compliance training programs upon hire, including Title IX training, topics on harrassment, discrimination, and protecting minors.

Current Graduate Assistants who are eligible for an additional term may apply to open positions that are advertised through PeopleAdmin. Some of those who are eligible for an additional term will be offered the opportunity to renew their current position without needing to go through PeopleAdmin. If you are one of these students, you will receive an email with a DocuSign Agreement offering you an additional term of assistantship. These renewal offers will be sent out by the end of March.

If you have questions about this process, or about your Graduate Assistant tuition waiver or bi-weekly stipend please contact our office at AdultLearning@millersville.edu or stop by our office in Lyle Hall, room 145.
