Reminder: Friday, April 22 Is the Deadline to Make Summer 2016 RA/TA Arrangements

Friday, April 24 is the deadline to make RA and TA appointment arrangements for Summer 2015!

1. First, talk with your research advisor, if you have one, about your source of support for the summer.

2. Next, go to the following link to the TA/RA Assistantship Preference form for Summer 2016: https://my.physics.illinois.edu/grad/taprefs/

Log in to the assistantship preference form and provide the support information that you are requesting for the summer. Note that if you are requesting TA support, i.e., if you will NOT be supported by a research assistantship this summer, we have only 6 courses -- Phys 101, 102, 211, 212, 213/214 and 403 -- for which we need TAs in the summer.  In addition, if you are requesting TA support, please be sure to fill in your summer schedule and note that you should indicate the times you ARE available to teach.

3. Finally, note that students who TA in the summer will need to be available for the 2nd summer session, June 12 - August 5, 2016.

In general, RAs are paid in June and July, but not August, while TAs are generally paid in July and August, but not June.

Please contact Lance Cooper as soon as possible if you have questions about, or problems with, making your Summer 2016 appointment!
