 If you are teaching (which should be most of you), you should receive a Graduate Student Instructor (GSI) Contract via email from Dexter a few weeks before the semester starts. Once you have replied to Dexter saying you accept the contract, you should get an email from the staff member in charge of payroll.  Make sure to inquire with said staff member about withholding for Federal and state taxes.  Much of our pay (fellowships, in particular) do not have automatic withholding, and if you don't withhold extra during the year, you'll end up with a hefty penalty come tax time.   If you are teaching (which should be most of you), you should receive a Graduate Student Instructor (GSI) Contract via email from Dexter a few weeks before the semester starts.
