IMPORTANT NOTE: Graduate Assistantship contracts should be completed by the hiring department, not the student being hired. The GA offer letter produced through Workday serves as a contract between the university and the student. 

Graduate Assistant hiring must be completed through Workday by the hiring supervisor or an assigned delegate.
