This Graduate Assistantship Policy and Procedural Handbook provides you with the policy and
procedural information relevant to the graduate assistantship program. You can use these
detailed information and policy guidelines while working in your various departments as a
graduate assistant. The handbook is divided into three parts: Part 1 highlights the policy on
graduate assistantship, Part 2 includes the accompanying procedure that guides the graduate
assistantship application and working process in various departments, and Part 3 includes sample
forms and award letters.

You will be able to use this policy and procedural handbook information to direct your request
for assistance from the graduate school office, your department or fellow graduate assistants.
This handbook is unique in its ability to shed lights to some pertinent information to which you
are required to have access to.

Please, as you use the handbook, make note of any questions you have as to the clarity of the
procedures and share them with us. We want to make sure that everyone understands both the
policies and the procedures of graduate assistantship here at Bowie State University.

Best wishes in the advancement of your academic program through the Bowie State University
Graduate Assistantship Program.

Sincerely,

Cosmas U. Nwokeafor, Ph.D.
