Delegation of Authority

Graduate Division is the final approval authority for a graduate student employed on a student academic title or student staff title with the following conditions:

1. The appropriate Divisional Dean is the appointing authority for a graduate student appointed as an Associate In (Teaching-a-Course).  The Dean of Graduate Division must review and approve the file prior to the appointment.
2. Student Employment Office (SEO), a division of the Career Services Center, must pre-approve the employment of a graduate student on a student staff title (a casual-restricted employee).  Use of these titles is under the jurisdiction of Career Services, requires the approval of the graduate department, and is subject to the final approval of the Dean.
3. The employment of graduate students as UC San Diegocareer employees is handled as follows:
   1. For current UC San Diegocareer staff employees who become graduate students, the appropriate authority is Central Human Resources and the Graduate Division.
   2. All other graduate students are under the jurisdiction of the Graduate Division, which does not allow employment into a UC San Diego staff position (career, limited or temporary).

The Graduate Division periodically reviews payroll actions and will contact the funding source to make necessary corrections if needed. In addition, Graduate Division has the authority to terminate any action not in compliance with stated graduate student policy and procedures.
