What do I do if a TA incorrectly identifies their Level of Consideration on their application?

Each academic unit tracks and confirms a TAs level of consideration, as per the commitment made on the Graduate Student's Funding commitment form (Office of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies).

Applicants are directed to indicate their LoC for the semester of the work assignment to which they are applying. 

If a TA incorrectly reports they are in Level 1 for the semester, work assignments may be assigned as per regular procedures considering their accurate level (2 or 3).

Where:

  • The TA has self-reported on their application that they are in Level 2 or 3 when they are in Level 1; and,
  • The TA does not appear on the list of applicants who selected “consider me for all”; and,
  • A JSP work assignment must be assigned;

The academic unit should:

  • Edit a posting to which you will be assigning to JSP (i.e., Yes to "This Work Assignment(s) may be assigned to fulfill the terms and conditions of a guaranteed Job Security Period (Art. 11.02)"; 
  • Extend the deadline date;
  • Explain the situation in the Posting Admin Memo; and

  • Inform the TA know to apply immediately to the edited/extended posting and indicate they are in Level 1

Ensure TAs are aware of their Level of Consideration: What Level of Consideration am I in?
