TA Privileges

and how to get them

1. Library

Officer ID prevents fines for overdue books (with some exceptions). For full details, read about Student Officer Borrowing on LibraryWeb. HOW: get a letter from the department administrator attesting to your status, and then use it to get a Teaching Officer ID card from the ID center.

2. Computer

Provision of additional memory on cunix system (your e-mail account), free printing of 100 pages a week from network printers. HOW: ask the course professor to complete a form provided by ACIS. Follow the "Request a TA account" link on this page. (It looks like you, the TA, logs in and then the prof writes something in the box. I've asked ACIS to clarify.)

3. Copying

Copying handouts, exams, transparencies, articles for reserve.

  1. Do-it-yourself jobs using the 4th floor copy machine. HOW: see Winnie McClarin.
  2. Copies to be done by the 406 staff (e.g., exams) usually require 24-hour notice. HOW: complete a request form available in 406 and leave it, along with your originals, in the specially marked box there.
  3. Renaissance or Village Copier, for all large jobs except exams. HOW: get authorization form from Winnie McClarin..

4. Desk Copies of Textbooks

Teaching Assistants receive free copies of all required reading materials. These materials should be available at least a week before the course begins. HOW: Publishing houses usually provide desk copies of textbooks; contact the textbook publisher to find out what the procedure is and then enlist the assistance of the professor (e.g., if an email from the professor is required). Teaching assistants should not be asked to pay for any course materials.

5. Key to Podium in Electronic Classroom (501 or 558)

Teaching Assistants receive a free copy of the key to the electronic podium in their classroom. (614 no longer uses a key) HOW: Complete the electronic training session during the week prior to the start of classes. The training schedule will be sent to the professor; be sure to ask the prof to send you the schedule.
