Below is a list of all the TA or TEPA appointments for which you are guaranteed a subsequent appointment in 2013/14.  As per Article 16:05(5) of the CUPE 3902, Unit 1 Collective Agreement, please indicate your intent to continue or decline your TA/TEPA appointment in 2013/14.

You are required to indicate your intent to continue within 20 working days of your email notification.  If you do not respond within 20 working days, the system will assume that you are declining your appointment for 2013/14.

For each of the assignments listed you have three of the following four choices:

1. Continue in 2013/14 in your current assignment
2. Continue in 2013/14 in a different assignment
3. Decline to continue in 2013/14
4. Other (with an opportunity to provide some comments)

If your supervisor has indicated that they are available to supervise you next year, you will see choices 1, 3, and 4.

If your supervisor has indicated that they will not be available to supervise you next year.  In this case, you may still be offered the same position with a different supervisor if you choose “Different Assignment”.

Please note:

1. You must be registered as a full-time student in September 2013 to take up the assignment.

3. We will be sending you all messages pertaining to your TA/TEPA assignment to your email address that is indicated on ROSI, which is displayed below.  Please ensure that your email address is accurate.  If you need to update it, kindly do so on ROSI.
