Teaching Assistantships Teaching assistant assignments are made in the spring of the academic year preceding the assignment. All current and prospective graduate students are eligible to apply. Every effort is made, within the constraints of a limited budget, to give students the opportunity to gain experience in leading tutorials. Some T.A.'ships are conditional on course enrolments. A description of duties is drawn up by the course instructor and the student has an opportunity to review them before deciding whether or not to accept the position offered.
Foreign students are eligible to work as teaching and research assistants.
A work permit is no longer necessary for work on-campus. Some research assistantships are available under grants held by faculty members.
