Information regarding May/Summer session instructional funding has been sent to department administrators and accountants.

If you have any questions about May/Summer session instructional funding please contact Pandora Aaron (aaron012@umn.edu, 4-9370).
On February 27th, department chairs and administrators received a copy of the "Optional CLA-Departmental TA Allocation Agreement," which was presented at CEDD in early February. This document describes an option available to departments regarding TA appointments for specific courses for 2008-09. For some departments, the agreement may provide added security and flexibility in making TA appointments.
The deadline for requesting a TA Allocation Agreement for fall and/or spring semesters 2008-09 is Friday, March 28.
Pandora Aaron and Nanette Hanks will be holding two open sessions to answer any questions you may have about the new agreement:
Refreshments will be served.
Please RSVP to Alicia Miller (peas0030@umn.edu) if you plan to attend.
Attached you will find some important information regarding the EFS training courses.
The attached memo outlines critical information on who should be taking the courses, what courses are available, how to change training sessions and who to contact to change or add courses.
The information contained in this document relates to training for the new Enterprise Financial System,
and should clarify many of the questions you may have as we continue to
design and implement EFS within CLA. (See: EFS Training.doc)

These students are automatically appointed under the 9575 job classification in summer session (non-tuition-bearing type). Research Assistants, Administrative Assistants or other types of non-instructional appointments outside of the 9575 appointment classification are not eligible.
Funding is available primarily for students enrolled in CLA graduate programs.
