5.13. Resignations

The department has the following policy:

1. Teaching Assistants may resign their TA appointment for an RA appointment if they resign prior to the announced application deadline, which is usually 4 - 6 weeks before the start of classes of each semester.
2. TAs who wish to resign their TA appointment after the above deadline will need written permission from the Department Head or TA Supervisor.
3. The department will not process RA offers to TAs that resign without meeting these criteria. TAs who resign less than two weeks before the beginning of classes will forfeit their eligibility to receive any form of support from the department in the future.

TAs should not resign after classes have begun.
