Teaching Assistant Application
Graduate Assistants – Teaching (GATs) are selected each semester by the course instructor. Some courses are only offered once a year, while others are offered each semester. No teaching assistantship positions are offered during the summer. If you are interested in a TA position, please contact the faculty member teaching the course and complete the TA application.
International students are required to meet additional language requirements.
Training Information
All TAs are required to complete the Teaching Assistant Training and Evaluation Program (TATEP) and attend the Teaching Assistant Institute (TAI) sponsored by the Center for Teaching Excellence. The TAI training must be taken before a new TA can teach and the training sessions are held each fall and spring semester.
If you have any questions please contact Lindsay Hutchins.
