Harris Ph.D. students have an academic requirement to serve as a TA for two courses per year in Years 2, 3, and 4, for a total of six Harris courses.  As a funding requirement for students who enroll for a 6th year, 1 additional TA role is required for each quarter of funding in year 6 (see 6th year funding requirements).

All teaching requirements must be fulfilled with Harris courses or programs (e.g. pre-enrollment programs such as Math and Coding Camp).

Student preferences for their TA roles will be solicited and considered, but assigned teaching assistant roles may not always align with those preferences. Harris reserves the right to change a student’s TA assignment and will provide as much notice as possible should that be necessary.

Harris PhD students are allowed to TA for additional roles beyond their academic and funding requirements and to receive additional compensation for the roles, so long as they are in good academic standing and with the approval of the Dean of Students.
