Can I defer my TA assignment to a future term, and how would I do this?

A TAship is part of the funding package provided to a student upon admission. Students must complete the first TAship at the beginning of their degree program, prior to deferring further TA assignments.  If a student declines or defers their first assigned TA, this will cancel all subsequent TA positions. 

If there are exceptional circumstances that require deferring the first term assignment, please contact the Graduate Coordinator and Administrator prior to the start of term. 

To defer a TAship, students must submit a Leave From Duties (LFDs) to a future term, through their Carleton Central account.
