Consult your tax advisor or the university Controller's office for more information. Award forms received late may result in a delay in payment. All students must sign their TA or RA contracts and return them to Office of Graduate Programs prior to starting work. These forms are available at the Office of Graduate Programs which can assist students with the completion of these forms. This is a requirement whether or not the student has previously attended or graduated from an English-speaking school.
Attendance is mandatory and a condition of appointment.
Waivers are granted only by the Vice President for Research and Graduate Programs. Any unexcused absence from any portion of the seminar or failure to attend is cause for revocation of the TA award. Academic Units may send students to the Teaching Seminar even when no TA award has been made. Students who are interested in attending the Seminar should make a request to his or her Academic Unit to participate.
