College of Fine Arts School of Dance Undergraduate Handbook

Undergraduate Assistants (UGA)

The School of Drama offers a number of student assistantships in the following areas: scene shop; properties; electrics; sound; costumes; audience development; Old Science Hall Lab Theatre and other SOD areas depending on budget availability and need. Only undergraduate students majoring in Drama are eligible for these positions. If you are interested in a student work position in the program, contact the staff or faculty member in charge of that area or the Main Office (OSH 121).

There are two sources of funding for student jobs. One source is funding provided by the unit. This type of “undergraduate assistantship” is considered to be a form of scholarship and is assigned on a competitive basis. Criteria for the assistantships include ability, knowledge and previous experience. The unit does not consider these to be a form of financial aid. The other is funding provided by state or federal funding sources under the work-study program. To see if you qualify for state or federal work-study assistance contact OU’s Financial Aid Offices.
