Important University Operating Policies and Procedures

As a graduate student, whether funded by the department or not, it is very important that you familiarize yourself with University Operating Policies and Procedures (OP).  They define your rights and responsibilities as a graduate student and, as in the case of many of you, as a teaching assistant.  The majority of the OP's related to you are listed in Section 64.  The following is a list containing the most important OP's concerning you that you must read:
