Compensation type depends on your position type and your enrollment status at Stern. MBA students enrolled at Stern for the semester in which they work will receive compensation in the form of tuition remission unless (1) they have a 100% scholarship/sponsorship, (2) they have exceeded the amount of tuition remission allowed, (3) they are hired for a tutor position, (4) they are enrolled in another school at NYU besides the Law, Medical, or Dental Schools for a majority of their credits, and/or (5) they are hired for a summer position and are not enrolled in summer classes. These five exceptions will be paid via payroll, which is subject to tax withholding.

Students enrolled in Non-Stern professional programs (Law, Medical, Dental) for a majority of their credits for the semester in which they work and who are hired for Teaching Fellow, Graduate Fellow, and grader positions will receive compensation in the form of tuition remission at that school. Non-Stern students enrolled in professional programs for a majority of their credits and hired for tutor positions will be paid through payroll in Human Resources upon submission of biweekly timesheets, and compensation will be subject to tax withholding. Students enrolled at any other Non-Stern school for a majority of their credits are not exempt from the collective bargaining agreement of the UAW-Local 2110 for Graduate Employees at New York University and will receive compensation via payroll which is subject to union dues and taxes. Graders and Tutors are exempt. For more information, please visit www.makingabetternyu.org/gsocuaw/ or contact Local 2110 at gsoc@2110uaw.org.

Please note that once an application has been approved by the Teaching Assistance Center the compensation amount cannot be amended due to an increase or decrease in the course enrollment.

Payment is dependent on enrollment, course credit load, and other factors. Please see contract for more details.
