TAs, who work less than three months in summer, receive a 20% summer supplement.

SPS requires TAs in Hispanic Studies to take one 500-level SPAN seminar.

To teach in the summer, graduate students in Hispanic Studies must take one 500-level SPAN seminar during the summer. Graduate students from other programs who wish to TA for Spanish or Portuguese in the summer must take one course that will satisfy a requirement for their individual program of study and advance their progress toward their degree. This course must at least meet the two credit minimum registration requirement listed on the Graduate School webpage on TA/RA salary schedules (revised policy 10/15/10). FICA and Medicare taxes may be triggered by taking fewer than five credits or working more than half-time (see FICA chart on UW Tax Office website).

Insurance

For Academic Student Employees, the GAIP Summer Quarter Coverage page as of 9/15/2014 said, "If you had UW-paid GAIP coverage for fall, winter, and spring quarters, you are eligible for UW-paid GAIP coverage for summer quarter, regardless of student and/or employment status." The GAIP Summmer Coverage page also said, "If you held a UW-paid GAIP-eligible appointment in spring, you can continue your GAIP coverage on a self-pay basis." See the GAIP Contacts page for who to contact with questions.
TAs (ASEs) still must make dependent payments as described on the GAIP Summmer Coverage page.
For faculty, the Benefits office may make all insurance deductions for the summer on the June 25 paycheck, as described in a May 15, 2014 memorandum to faculty on 9- through 10-month appointments.
