For GTA No Contact classifications, the department will state in the remarks section of the PAF the words No Student Contact. However, these appointments are subject to specific limitations and to oversight by a faculty member and the Chair or Director because GTA s receiving these appointments have not passed the written English requirement at the Instructing level. The EAP Director will approve the appointment if the TA has the appropriate certification. Once the appointment has been approved by the EAP Director, the personnel action form may be processed. The EAP Director and the appointment department will be jointly responsible for maintaining records of the specific conditions of the Provisional appointment and assuring compliance.
Complete details are in the attached Provost s announcement.
Any department judged by the Dean of the Graduate College or the Provost to have failed to comply with these rules for appointment will not be permitted to make appointments for GTA Supporting or GTA No Contact duties.
