Assistanships

Teaching assistantships for the program are offered as a one-year appointment beginning in the Fall semester. Currently, all are filled for the Fall 2009 semester. However, we hope to have additional assitantships available for Fall 2010.

Students interested in a teaching assistantship must meet the following requirements:

• You must be afull time student (at least 9 hours in fall or spring, or 6 hours in summer), who are not employed full time elsewhere.
• You must have been admitted under regular status. In particular, if you were required to take any articulation courses (CSCI 6901, CSIS 3722, or CSIS 3723), you must complete them in order to be eligible for a teaching assistanship.

For more details, see the Graduate Assistant Handbook. Also see these documents on policies and procedures for the appointment of new graduate assistants.

If you are interested in an assistanship, you should fill out an application form. These are available from the School of Graduate Studies and Research.

The CSIS Department maintains a list of students interested in an assistantship. Teaching assistants are generally awarded based on scholarly potential as well as ability to teach in needed undergraduate areas, based on background and an interview.
