About the TA preference form
All CS graduate students are required to complete the TA preference form regardless if you intend to TA in the upcoming term.
-
Those who are eligible to TA must submit their course preferences and accept the Confidentiality Agreements at the end.
- If you know that you will be inactive, part-time, on coop/internship, off-campus, or if you plan to complete your degree and not register next term, indicate your status in your profile so we know not to assign you a TA unit.
- If you are unsure about your status for next term but want to TA as a backup, please indicate it somewhere on the form.
Graduate students who do not complete the form before the termly deadline will be automatically assumed to decline their TA units (which will affect your TA funding).
