In addition to UT graduate student employment criteria, EDP requires TAs and GRAs complete the EDP TA/GRA Agreement prior to assignment.

Performance Evaluations

University policy requires that graduate student employees work under the supervision of a regular faculty member, who must file a written evaluation of the student's work performance with the Department Chair at the close of each semester. EDP Executive Assistant will send evaluation links to faculty supervisors near the end of each semester. Completed evaluations are kept on file digitally in UT Box.
