# Assistantships

Appointments to course assistantships are made by the faculty of the School of Art and managed by the assistant dean for academic affairs. Course assistantships are usually assigned *only to second-year students.* A student may not apply for an assistantship because all appointments are based on individual merit and performance qualifications and *not* on financial need. A U.S. Social Security number is required in order to be paid as a course assistant. Course assistantships may be for one or two terms, and the compensation is made via monthly payments (rather than tuition remission).
