GA(T)s - Graduate Assistantships (Teaching)
Graduate Assistants (Teaching) are appointed to assist the instructor of record in various aspects of teaching an undergraduate course offered through the Bachelor of Health Sciences (BHSc) and Bachelor of Community Rehabilitation (BCR) programs. Depending on the course, GA(T) duties may include assisting with lectures, being available for office hours, grading assignments, exam invigilation, providing tutorial direction, and assisting in the preparation of demonstration and instructional aids.

Successful applicants will complete and sign the Assignment of Assistantship Duties form (see forms below) with their GA(T) instructor.

A formal Letter of Offer will also be provided to the student for review and signature.

A review of the GA(T)’s performance will also be conducted prior to the end of the term. Both the GA(T) and instructor will discuss the GA(T)’s performance and complete a Graduate Assistant Performance Review form.
All GA(T) holders are encouraged to undertake the various teaching workshops and certifications.
Applications for potential GA(T) appointments are accepted on an ongoing basis. Interested students are required to complete an application form, cover letter with a clear statement of interest as well as a current curriculum vitae (CV) to the course instructor for consideration.
