Academic Appointments
An academic appointment refers to the formal designation given to faculty members or graduate assistants by an educational institution, outlining their role, responsibilities, and duration of employment. For faculty, an academic appointment typically includes teaching, research, and service duties, and it can vary in terms of rank, such as assistant professor, associate professor, or full professor. These appointments often come with specific terms regarding tenure, promotion, and contract renewal.
For graduate assistants, an academic appointment usually involves assisting faculty with teaching, research, or administrative tasks while also pursuing their own studies. Graduate assistant positions often provide financial support through stipends, tuition waivers, or other benefits. Both types of appointments contribute significantly to the academic and research environment of the institution, each fulfilling vital roles within the academic community.

Please note: If you have an employee that is teaching across multiple blocks please use a combination of the above instructions to ensure their pay is distributed evenly across the pay period. For example, if you have a GTA teaching a course during the May Block, the June Block and the July Block and their total stipend is $5k per course or $15k total, their biweekly rate would be the $15k divided by 6 pay periods, using an effective date of 05/17/25 for the initial epAF and then you would need to terminate, put them on LOA or transfer them to another position effective 08/9/25. If in doubt, please contact the Director of Academic Personnel Records, Lizi Young.
