Undergraduate Teaching Assistants (TAs) work in laboratory courses. Learning
Assistants (LAs) work in core lecture courses. Students may receive course credit
(BIOLL 497R) for serving as laboratory TAs or LAs, but these courses do
not count toward the major requirements. Alternatively, students may have the
option of being a TA or LA for pay. Students should discuss these options with the
instructor for whom they’ll be working.  

Teaching Assistants are typically arranged by individual faculty lab instructors.
These instructors will provide information as opportunities become available, but
students can also proactively email instructors to express their interest.

Learning Assistants offer weekly group sessions for BIOL141/142, CHEM150/202, CHEM221/222, PHYS141/142 and QTM100.

If you are interested in becoming a Peer Mentor please meet with the faculty currently teaching the course to discuss your eligibility. 

Peer Mentors earn 2-graded research credits during their first two semesters of work and are eligible to receive a stipend in their third semester as a mentor.
