Thank-you for your interest in being a Course Assistant (CA) in Computer Science. Depending on the course, assistants may be responsible for office/lab hours, grading, and/or leading practice/review sessions. Payrates vary between $8.00-15.00/hour, depending on the course and experience level. Students usually work 10 hours per week. Students should expect this to include reading week and exam week as well, depending on the course.

CAs are required to have a cumulative GPA of at least 3.0. You must have at least sophomore standing. You may not assist in a course you are concurrently taking. This is a student employment position, so you must be eligible for student hourly payroll in order to be hired.

You must complete an application form for each semester that you wish to be a CA. A link for the current semester is below. The on-line form is the first step in our application process. It will be electronically submitted to Dr. Joanne Selinski and forwarded to appropriate instructors. Qualified applicants will be interviewed. If hired, you must complete a CA contract, and a CS Dept. Student Payroll Form, both available in the main office (NEB 224).

Interviews and hiring decisions usually extend several weeks into the semester since the number of available positions are dependent on course enrollments.

Fall 2009 - available now, but hiring will not begin until the end of August

Spring 2009 - check back in December

A very limited number of positions for Intro Java may be available for Summer 2010. Please email Joanne in May if interested.
