Program objectives include introducing new graduate students and future teaching assistants to the roles, responsibilities, and relevant policies for TAs. An electronic certificate of completion will be provided. *Please note that the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science offers its own TA training program, therefore thesis-based engineering students are not eligible.*
