GA/GTA/GRA assignment requests are made by faculty advisers for their graduate students using this form. All graduate students must successfully complete the GTA workshop before they can be assigned as graduate teaching assistants (GTA). International graduate students serve as graduate assistants (GA) in their first semester and they are expected to pass the GTA workshop and the SPEAK test by the end of their first semester.  The Speech Communication Center offers the GTA workshop and the SPEAK test. Click to read the announcement of the Workshop and Required SPEAK Test for GTAs and to learn about the potential waiver procedure.

At the time GA/GTA/GRA assignment requests are received, the office staff will check whether the graduate students might have any outstanding UM System training requirements in myLearn and/or outstanding S&T EHS General Laboratory Safety Training (GLST) requirements.  If there are such outstanding requirements, the graduate students will be reminded of these requirements and requested to demonstrate in the following couple of days that they took and passed all required myLearn and GLST modules.  Failure to do so may delay the processing of the GA/GTA/GRA employment paperwork.

GTA evaluations are done at the end of the spring and fall semesters.
