College- or Department-Level Graduate Assistant Positions: There are some graduate assistant positions available directly from certain colleges or departments, like the Speech-Language Pathology program. These are specific to the sponsoring college or department, which handles both the eligibility criteria and the funding. For information regarding this sort of GA position, please contact the specific college or department of interest.

Graduate assistants have long been an integral part of university life and serve a dual purpose: the University benefits from the work of a budding professional, and the participating student benefits from a real-life experience related to his or her area of study, as well as receiving a scholarship and stipend.

Working together, we can ensure that Harding’s Graduate Assistant Program provides mutual benefits both to recipient students and to the University at large.

This handbook is prepared especially for our graduate and professional students. Upon registering, students agree to conform to the high expectations and policies set forth in this handbook. It is beneficial for the graduate/professional student to become familiar with the information contained within this handbook.

The Graduate/Professional Academic Affairs committee (GPAAC) is the policy-making body for graduate and professional programs. The committee includes two faculty representatives and one student representative from each college along with ex officio members from the provost and registrar offices.
