Proctorships Proctorships are non-instructional academic employment and are offered either through an academic department or degree program, or from other research, training, academic, or administrative offices around campus. These positions are intended to foster the professional development and/or research interests of graduate students. Proctorships are awarded by the Graduate School and are subsidized whenever possible by federal work study funds. Departmental proctors generally assist faculty with research, staff departmental libraries, or help manage the academic or administrative workload of the department. Proctors appointed outside of academic departments either assist in the implementation of the appointing office's ongoing programs, or they engage in other work (research, program development, projects, etc.) that is pre-approved and relevant to the appointing office's objectives. Departmental proctors generally receive full tuition or the enrollment fee, health insurance, the health services fee, and a stipend; the specific financial terms of these awards will be determined at the time of the appointment. Proposals from nonacademic departments for extra-departmental proctorships that are relevant to students' professional development or research interests may be made to the Graduate School at any time. Ideally, such proposals will originate as the result of a consultation between a particular campus office and interested graduate student. Financial awards for extra-departmental proctorships are determined on a case-by-case basis. All proctorship appointments must be approved by the originating department of office, the director of graduate study in the student's home department, and the Graduate School. Students who wish to be considered for proctorships must also submit the following information:
