Last Advance Notice – Term 2 TAs – October 31st last day to withdraw from TAship

Hello Everyone, especially Term 2 TAs –

Winter Session Term 1 is well underway, and I hope your course load and activities are balancing out.

Sometimes a student will realize a change has to be made: he or she may have taken on too much, or something comes up.

So, she or he decides to withdraw from his/her Term 2 TA-ship.

If you accepted an oﬀer for a Term 2 TA-ship and are considering a change like this,

* your deadline is October 31st, 2019.

Please first inform your instructor, then contact me at: lfs.ta@ubc.ca.

This deadline for foreseeable changes allows time for your instructor to find another TA.

We can process your changes before the term ends, everyone scatters, and the
holidays are upon us.

Thank you for your cooperation! Questions? Let me know.

Regards, Virginia
