Current Student FAQs

The undergraduate Office of Academic Assistance and the Graduate Services Office will now be processing student requests for registration assistance (i.e., special approvals, prereq errors and exceptions, time conflicts, course repeat permissions). Students can submit requests using our recently updated Registration Assistance form at https://casportal.gsu.edu/register/

In the online Graduate Handbook.

Please see this distribution areas handout.

On the last business day of the month. Note that the first paycheck of an academic year is paid on the last of September.

Only a very limited number of RELS 2001 sections are offered during the summer. We recognize that there are many talented graduate student instructors who may wish to teach during the summer, and there may be more instructors than sections. When available, summer teaching assignments will be made according to the three factors listed below. No teaching assignments will be made to students whose GPA falls below 3.2 (where GPA includes all graduate-level letter-graded courses). The compressed teaching schedule in the summer makes instruction especially challenging, so graduate students who have taught RELS 2001 at least once will be considered for teaching positions before students who have not taught the course before are considered.

• Grades (overall GPA, and GPA in religious studies graduate courses)
• Academic Progress (how close student is to normative progress, that is, beginning thesis at the start of the second year and completing thesis by the end of the second year)
• Teaching Experience and Excellence (student evaluations and assessments of RELS 8970/8980/8985 instructors
