Applying for a Graduate Assistantship (GA)

Applications for Graduate Assistantship must be completed in full and submitted by the deadline date stated on the form. Incorrect applications will be returned to the student, which may cause the student to miss the appropriate deadline date.

All applicants must submit their GA forms to the Wendy Mauzeroll, OISE Dean's Office, 252 Bloor St. W., 12th Floor, Toronto, ON, M5S 1V6.

All students who wish to be considered for a GA in the summer session must submit an application.

Please note that applications will not be accepted by email or fax. All applications must be submitted by mail or dropped off at the office.

Flex-time PHD candidates are eligible to be considered for a Graduate Assistantship once during their program providing they can provide required documentation as outlined in Article 14:00 of the CUPE3907 Collective Agreement. This documentation must be provided with the submission of the GA application. A Graduate Assistantship, Summer Graduate Assistantship, or R&D Graduate Assistantship are all part of the same union and the limit of one position encompasses all three types of GAs.
