Students who begin an NSF in their 1st or 2nd years are encouraged to place the fellowship on reserve in their 3rd year and TA both Fall and Spring semesters. Students who receive an NSF that begins in their 3rd year, by contrast, are encouraged to TA in the spring semester of their 1st year and the fall semester of their second year, reserving the spring semester of their 2nd year to prepare and take their candidacy exams. NSF fellowships must be placed on hold by May 1st. Because this deadline is earlier than Fall TA appointments are announced, students must inform the Graduate Advisor and Graduate Program Coordinator of their need to TA during the specific semesters when the fellowship is on reserve.

Other fellowships have different guidelines and conditions. Students are responsible for knowing the requirements of their fellowship and designing a plan that fulfills the TA requirement of the department. The Graduate Advisor may allow for alternatives in special circumstances.
CHE 398T Option
In special situations, a student will be unable to meet the suggested timelines so as to not have a conflict between TA requirements and fellowship regulations. In these cases students should register for CHE 398T Supervised Teaching. Students will need to receive permission from the Graduate Advisor that they may receive TA credit for CHE 398T prior to enrolling in the course.
