* Separately, 10% and 40% Assistantships do not provide tuition allowance sufficient to cover the corresponding 1,2,3 and
8,9,10 tuition rates. Combined, they do equal a 50% Assistantship and cover the 8,9,10 unit tuition rate.

Summer Assistantships Greater than 50%

The maximum Assistantship appointment for Fall, Winter, and Spring Quarters is 50%. Assistantships greater than 50% are
allowed during Summer Quarter only, up to a maximum Assistantship of 90%.
Eligibility for Assistantships during Summer Quarter is no different than for other quarters, except that the enrollment
requirement (minimum of 8 units enrollment) becomes 1 unit in the Summer Quarter.

Tuition Allowance for Assistantships greater than 50% and up to 90% will decrease proportionately as the Assistantship
increases.

Wherever possible, Summer Assistantships of over 50% should be established as a single Assistantship, rather than a
combination of smaller Assistantships so the TAL is calculated correctly.

* Similar to a 40% Assistantship during the Academic year, a 60% Summer Assistantship will NOT provide the full tuition for
a student enrolled in 8, 9 or 10 units.

1
Standard Graduate Tuition applies to graduate programs in the Schools of Earth, Energy & Environmental Sciences;
Education; Humanities & Sciences; PhD and MS programs in the School of Medicine (except Bioengineering); and PhD
programs in the School of Business.
2
The MD, MBA and all Law programs begin charging full tuition at 8 units. A 50% Assistantship earns the dollar equivalent
of one unit of tuition times 10.
3
Starting in 2010-11, the MD tuition structure changed. Students who started before 2010-11 will be grandfathered in the
former tuition structure. Starting in 2010-11, MD students may elect a Research Rate for quarters in which they devote
their effort exclusively to research.
