Job description

Duties:

Below is a list of duties that may be incorporated in the graduate assistant position. The duties chosen will be decided by the Administrator taking responsibility for the Graduate Assistant. It is expected that the Graduate Assistant will be trained and given oversight to be successful in the duties they are responsible for.

  • Prepare lesson plans

  • Help create online courses

  • Connect with current students to help increase student retention

  • Grade assignments

  • Reconnect with alumni

  • Research marketing opportunities

  • Connect with other schools to request opportunity to communicate what our school offers

  • Participate in curriculum evaluation and improvement

  • Research and apply for programmatic accreditations

  • Research opportunities for student or faculty involvement in community or local churches

  • Other duties consistent with helping the school administrators and faculty

Application Process:

The Graduate Assistant position will run concurrent with an academic year and prospective applicants will apply by submitting a current resume and a letter describing their financial need and purpose for seeking the graduate assistant position. If accepted, the Graduate Assistant position will run a maximum of one year, always ending in Aug. A student may reapply for the following year, but there is no guarantee the student will receive the position again.

A qualified applicant must be a full-time student enrolled in a Master’s level or higher degree program maintaining a GPA above 3.5. The student must also demonstrate financial need and demonstrate appropriateness for the position.

SCS is an “at will” employee, meaning that employees may quit at any time, for any reason and SCS may fire an employee at any time with no reason or notice given. If the school terminates the position, the tuition discount will still be in effect for the active module, but not the subsequent ones. If the student initiates termination of the Graduate Assistant role, the student will be responsible for the full amount of tuition without the discount.
