Please Submit Two Weeks Prior to Appointment
TA appointment initiation forms are no longer required.
Departments are responsible for hiring TAs according to their department allotments. This information is provided annually by the Director of Graduate Education to department chairs and program directors and is then shared with the department’s administrator. Department allotments can be found in the shared workbook in teams.
Once you have issued a letter of appointment to your TA, an appointment action can be entered into HCM, the department administrator can now update and maintain this appointment under the TA tab in the shared workbook.
Please note that Departments are now responsible for providing each TA with Departmental Criteria prior to the effective appointment date.
