Teaching Assistant (TA) Appointment Priorities

Priority for appointment/reappointment as a Teaching Assistant is in accordance with Article XIII of the Collective Agreement with the Teaching Support Staff Union (TSSU).

In allocating Teaching Assistant positions, the department will also take into consideration the following:

• Applicant's preferences
• Suitability for particular courses (e.g. discipline of prior degree(s), publications, experience)
• Employment evaluations
• Instructor requests

If an assignment within a priority group requires a selection between applicants, the graduate student without financial support from merit based scholarships or merit based fellowships during the term of appointment with a value equal to at least a 5.17 appointment, will have priority for the appointment.
