TA Selection Process:

  • TAships are assigned by the Department Chairs based on instructor recommendations.
  • Appointments depend on course needs, student enrollment, and available funding.
  • Priority is given to students with department-funded fellowships who meet eligibility criteria.

Eligibility Requirements:
To be eligible for a TA position, students must meet the criteria outlined in the University’s Academic Personnel Manual (APM410) and the UCSB Red Binder. These include:

  • Being a registered full-time graduate student enrolled in at least 8 units
  • Maintaining a minimum 3.0 GPA and making appropriate progress to degree
  • Demonstrating academic excellence and teaching potential
