Grader Information

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR GRADING APPLICANTS

If you are applying for a grading position in the School of Mathematics, please read this page CAREFULLY!

Pay and Hours

Graders are paid on a stipend basis. If you find that it is taking too long to complete your grading duties, please discuss this matter with your instructor.

If you are a graduate student receiving a teaching or research assistantship, you must obtain the approval of your graduate coordinator in order to apply for a grading position. Your graduate coordinator may impose additional hour limitations to the policies listed below. Grading positions are paid by a fixed hourly rate based on number of students enrolled in a course; you will NOT get a tuition reimbursement or a graduate assistantship for grading a mathematics course.

The current rate of pay for graders in the School of Mathematics is as follows:

For Undergraduate Courses:

For 3000 level or lower classes: $13.00 per hour, for a number of hours up to one and a half times the number of students enrolled. For example, a grader for a class with 30 students can earn up to ($13.00 per hour) x (1.5 x 30 hours) = $585 for the semester.
 
For 4000 level classes: $17.00 per hour, for a number of hours up to two times the number of students enrolled. For example, a grader for a 4000 level class with 30 students can earn up to ($17.00 per hour) x (2 x 30 hours) = $1020 for the semester.

 

For Graduate Courses:

For graduate courses: $20.00 per hour, for a number of hours up to three times the number of students enrolled. For example, a grader for a graduate class with 30 students can earn up to ($20.00 per hour) x (3 x 30 hours) = $1800 for the semester.
