How to Apply

The TA sign-up procedure is a three-step process (be sure to complete all three steps!).  When ready to use the online TA signup form (below), be sure to have your CSENetID at hand and follow these steps:

1. REGISTER: Indicate your wish to TA for the current quarter and list your general areas of interest. (Important: Be sure to check the box that says "I wish to TA <quarter>,<year>".)

2. APPLY: Update data about your qualifications so that instructors can more easily find the best qualified TAs.

3. EDIT/ESTABLISH COURSE PREFERENCES: List your TA preferences for individual courses.

  • Your individual course preferences will be initialized to values consistent with your course category preferences (Theory, Systems, Graphics, etc.). You may adjust these values at any time until the application deadline. Course instructors can see only your general areas of interest when submitting their own preferences for TAs. Since some courses (CSE 332, 351, 373, etc.) may not fit neatly into a single area, paying close attention to how you rank each individual course will improve your chances of getting the best match for your and the instructors' preferences.

  • TAs are generally expected to attend lectures  for a course they wish to TA. Please pay special attention to whether you have a schedule/time conflict with any course, and rank any course with '-1' if a major conflict exists (partial conflicts with lecture times are usually acceptable). Exceptions are sometimes made for students who have previously TA'd for that course or who have made prior arrangements with an instructor. Contact Pim if you have any questions about this.

  • TA Positions for CSE 142/143: New TAs for CSE 142 and 143 are selected through a separate process which includes a brief interview. An announcement with information on how to apply for autumn quarter 142/143 TA positions will be made towards the end of spring quarter.

  • Summer TA Positions for CSE 142/143: Due to the smaller number of available CSE 142/143 TA positions in summer, hiring for these courses is expected to be limited to students with previous 14x TA experience.

All students must apply each quarter they wish to be considered a TA. Students who apply and are not appointed during a given quarter will remain eligible to fill any TA openings should they occur.

(Non-CSE students who have a UWNetID can sign up here.)
