New Job Codes for GTA and GRA

In order to accurately reflect the Graduate Teaching Assistant (GTA) and Graduate Research Assistant (GRA) classifications, we are implementing new job codes effective September 1, 2017. HRS will work with departments that have already submitted eForms/Pay Action Forms for September 1 appointments to update the records with the appropriate job codes.

Graduate Student Type	New Job Code	eForms Employee Group
GTA	S0001- S0012 (renamed and assigned to GTA)	Employee Group 228
GRA	S0021- S0032	Employee Group 227
GTA- PI	S0055	Employee Group 229
GRAF	S0056	Employee Group 230
STARE (Short Term Academically Related Employment)	S0053	Employee Group 217

Departments that have not submitted appointments effective September 1, 2017 will be able to use eForms or PAF's with the new job codes for GTA/GRA. Departments that have already submitted eForms/Pay Action Forms for September 1 appointments do not have to resubmit the appointments. HRS will work with the departments to update the records to either GTA or GRA.
