Types of Applications
There are two types of applications:
- General Pool: Student submits application without being matched; College places qualified student where needed
- Matched: Faculty member and student establish mutual verbal agreement that they would like to work together; student submits “matched” application
With either type of application, no jobs are guaranteed until Notification of Offer email messages are sent to the student (typically two weeks prior to the start of the semester). In general, matched applications are more likely to yield an offer.
How to Apply for a TA or an IA Position
TA Application
To be considered for a TA position, complete the TA job application and submit it before the deadline.
Please note that students should make every effort to arrange their schedules to be open during the class meeting time if they are assigned to a course that is taught at University Park. In cases where this is simply not possible, students should make alternate arrangements with the instructor to whom the student is assigned.
IA Application
To be considered for an IA position, complete the IA job application and submit it before the deadline.
Please note that successful applicants’ schedules should be open during the class meeting time if they are assigned to a course that is taught at University Park.
