The Teaching Assistant (TA) Training Program offers both online and in-person sessions in the Winter 2026 semester. This program is a collaboration between SGS, CITL, and the TAUMUN.

Program objectives include introducing new graduate students and future teaching assistants to their roles, responsibilities, and relevant policies. An electronic certificate of completion will be provided to students who attend all sessions. *Please note that the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science offers its own TA training program; therefore, engineering students are not eligible.*

Facilitators: Dr. Leonard Lye and CITL Support Team
