Teaching Associates

Teaching Associates are given work assignments that primarily involve classroom and laboratory instruction. Responsibility for preparing course materials and administering the course is vested in the TA under the direct supervision of a faculty member.

Teaching Associates may serve a maximum of twenty (20) hours per week. Work Assignments are to be closely associated with their program of study or the academic department in which they are enrolled. Teaching Associates appointed for less than half-time may be appointed concurrently in another student classification, up to a combined total of approximately 20 hours per week.
