Fall 2012 TA Update 5/1

May 1, 2012

Here's an update on the Fall 2012 TA situation:

  • There will be another round of offers sometime late this week or (more likely) early next week. At this point I'm not sure how many offers will be in that round. My best guess is about a half dozen, but that's just a guess at this point.
  • Unfortunately, due to the number of students who applied for a TA position for Fall, I have not been able to make offers (yet at least) to all students in priority categories. For example, there are a number of current TAs whom I'd like to give Fall offers; however, I've been unable to do so due to the overall number of students in high priority categories. I do expect to be able to make offers to some of these people in the next round, and then to some more over the summer. Usually we have between a half-dozen to a dozen TA positions open up over the summer, although sometimes these do not open up until August.
  • At this point it looks like we will not be able to make any offers to MS students (based on the number of PhD students who are still in the TA pool).
  • TA class assignments (for those who already have offers) will probably go out in mid-to-late June or in early July.
