Teaching Assistant Training Program (TATP)
The Teaching Assistant (TA) Training Program offers both online and in-person sessions in the Winter semester. This program is a collaboration between SGS, CITL, TAUMUN, and the GSU.
Program objectives include introducing new graduate students and future teaching assistants to their roles, responsibilities, and relevant policies. Participants will receive an electronic certificate of completion. *Please note that the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science offers its own TA training program, therefore thesis-based engineering students are not eligible.*
