Good
Academic Standing
"Good academic standing" is defined in the departmental bylaws
(Appendix II.3.2.a). We understand "good standing" as the absence
of "incompletes" on your record, normal progress toward your
degree (including completion of at least 10 credits per quarter), and
a minimum overall GPA of 3.6. A grade of less than 2.7 in any course will
mean that that course will not be counted toward your degree; this may
also have the consequence that less than ten credits per quarter will
have been satisfactorily completed. If you are not currently in compliance
with these guidelines, you must bring yourself into compliance by the
end of the current academic year in order to be eligible for reappointment.
Your teaching is assessed during the year on the basis of class visitations by the TA supervisor and of student evaluations submitted each quarter. The Department recommends A Handbook for Teaching Assistants as a good source of information for TAs. Please visit the Center for Instructional Development and Research (CIDR) website to view a copy of this handbook.
Details of University policy regarding graduate student appointments are found in volume IV, part IV chapter 6 of the University Handbook.
