The TA assignment policy is under College of Education purview effective Fall 2021. Primary policy points are listed below:
- TAs are assigned to courses, vs. instructors.
- TAs may only work on the course they are assigned.
- TAs are assigned ONLY to undergraduate courses, with extremely rare exceptions.
How TAs are hired:
- Students must fill out the EDP TA Application online in order to be considered for a TA position in the upcoming semester.
- The EDP Executive Assistant compiles applications into a spreadsheet for instructors to view, and sends the link along with their TA allotment (# of TA hours assigned per course) to review.
- Instructors reply to the EA with their top choices from the list, specifying course.
- EDP Leadership Team reviews instructor TA requests and makes assignments.
EDP Executive Assistant will notify faculty of their TA allocation via email when student advising begins for a semester. The Department asks program areas to work together to prioritize their most deserving students when assigning Teaching Assistants. Note: Department Chair review and approval is required before TA offers may be made to students.
