Department-Specific Information

 

Do you have receipts that require reimbursement as authorized by your supervisor? Have you attended a conference outside of Ontario that is to be covered under the University? Have you done some work outside of your laboratory that can be counted for hours? Here is some information that may be useful for you.

 

Teaching Assistantships (TA)

Teaching Assistantships are positions appointed to graduate students in which they will aid with teaching tasks required in a course as outlined by the primary instructor. This may include marking of assignments and examinations, conducting demonstrations and supervising students (if a laboratory component is part of the course), as well as serving as the secondary instructor to some lectures if necessary. Teaching Assistants (TAs) are also expected to promptly respond to students' emails and to retain professionalism at all times in a classroom setting.

Graduate Awards

The Awards and Deadlines page gives an overview of the scholarships and awards available around the academic year, from Fall through to Summer. It contains the same information as the poster in the hallway by the main office, but with live links to the relevant websites.
