- 3-unit courses typically do not get a TA

Deadlines
- Make sure to adhere to Union Deadlines for entering appointments into GAP. The GAP system will use the information entered to generate an offer letter to the student.
- It is more important to have the letter out in time than to have all the information related to the job so if there are missing pieces, (i.e., hours, work location, etc.) process the letter anyway.
- The additional information can be entered by the supervisor using the ATLAS app.
