Graduate Teaching Assistants and Graduate Student Assistants will not lose pay because of COVID-19 related absences. Please contact us if you are still being required to report to work in person at geocwsu@gmail.com.

Offers of spring/summer appointments should go out before the summer schedule of classes is posted. The GEOC contract protects graduate employees working in the summer and outlines the rate of pay for summer appointments.

If you live on or near campus the Campus Health Center provides basic health services and testing. It is recommended that you call to make an appointment but walk-ins are welcome. Services are available for individuals who are uninsured.​​ The campus health clinic takes most WSU insurance plans, excluding Total Health Care. 

The 20 hour per week workload limit for GTAs and GSAs still applies. Track your work and any issues you encounter moving online using this form. If you find that you are working over the limit, please contact the grievances officer at grievances.geoc@gmail.com. 

For anyone whose class was not already online, SET scores are optional. If you receive your SET scores and don’t like them, you can have them voided. Administration is working to ensure this is complete, so that even (e.g.) your chair can’t see them.

All WSU insurance plans have tele-health services which offer services 24-hour a day, 7-days a week. Many health insurance plans also have the ability to mail prescriptions to you, so if you need medication they will be able to help you get them to your home without going to a pharmacy. 

The CAPS office provides basic mental health services both remote and face-to-face. Check the CAPS website for contact information and updates. This is also a good time to reach out to your health insurance provider to find an off campus mental health provider, since we know the wait time for CAPS is long and their ability to treat is limited.
