Computer Science TA Updates

Nearly all TA positions are tentatively held for PhD students at this time. It is expected that several appointments will be made to MS students once PhD student offers are confirmed. Additional appointments will be made to fill hard-to-fill positions and made to those who have already been a TA.  Being requested by a faculty member as a TA for their own class is the most likely reason to be selected as a first-time TA. Some difficult openings may also lead to first-time positions. The PhD appointment may take through the end of the term. MS students may not receive offers until late December or early January.

Computer Science & Engineering graduate students may now apply for appointments as teaching assistants for the Spring 2021 academic term.  The application is available at the following link:  Spring 2021 Graduate Teaching Assistant Application . ***ANY STUDENT INTERESTED IN A TA POSITION FOR SPRING 2021 MUST FILL OUT A NEW APPLICATION, EVEN IF YOU HAD A TA APPOINTMENT FOR FALL 2020** Applications are due no later than  **November 2nd ** . Late and/or improperly filled out applications will not be considered, or will receive less priority. If you currently have a TA position, but will be graduating this Fall, or for some other reason do NOT intend to apply for a position for next semester, we would appreciate it if you would let us know by emailing < cscourse@umn.edu > - this will allow us to estimate better how many TA offers we can make to new students.
