Testing Accommodations Proctor Graduate Assistant -

The term Graduate Assistant is the umbrella term that encompasses all types of GA appointments. Graduate Assistants are employed by the University to teach, conduct research, or assist with administrative duties in departments and non-academic units. Every attempt is made to assign Graduate Assistants to positions that are directly related to the student's field of study or that provide the opportunity to develop transferable, professional skills.

Graduate Assistantships are assigned in the department or unit and confirmed by the Graduate School.

The Testing Accommodations Proctor Graduate Assistant (GA) supports equitable access to assessments by coordinating and proctoring accommodated examinations. This role helps ensure timely scheduling, secure handling of exam materials, consistent proctoring practices, accurate recordkeeping in Trac Cloud, and strong communication with students, faculty, and campus partners. The GA works within established accessibility and testing policies to promote academic integrity and an accessible testing experience.
