Most departments in the Graduate School engage several graduate students each year to assist in undergraduate teaching, tutorial work, and laboratory demonstrating. These arrangements are made after reviewing the student's needs, not only for financial assistance, but for experience in such work with respect to a subsequent career, e.g., university teaching.

Full-time students employed as teaching assistants are limited to a maximum of ten hours a week (average). This is the total time spent by the student in this position and includes time spent on preparation, reading assignments, and marking tests and examinations.

Instructional Development Centre also offers workshops on TA's.
