NextGen Graduate Appointment System

The NextGen Graduate Appointment System manages the hiring process for student Graduate Assistantships. The system can be adapted to the needs of each college and department, and it is completely paperless; the student and supervisor electronically sign the Terms and Conditions contract in the system. NextGen can be found on the MyPack Portal’s HR System page. See the below link to learn more and find the NextGen user manual.
