GA Appointment Letter

It is one of three forms used by departments offering Graduate Assistantships to students enrolled at UMBC. Once completed, these two forms should also be submitted:

• Tuition Remission

•  Health Insurance Enrollment Form

Please visit the GA Forms website for more details.

Departments and students should refer to the Graduate Assistant (GA) Handbook for instructions and explanations.
