Statement about Teaching Assistants and Special Readers

As a Professional Graduate School, GSE&IS offers relatively few undergraduate courses, and therefore, hires relatively few Teaching Assistants. The Department of Education does offer an Education Studies Minor (ESM). Some of these courses with larger enrollments often hire TAs to assist the faculty instructors. 

Appointments of TAs are made on a quarterly basis, and only after specific enrollment figures are reached. Some courses that in the past have employed TAs are ED 92F, ED M102, ED 122, ED 130, ED 187, and ED 194A/B/C. If you are interested in applying for a TA position, please check the quarterly course offerings and contact the instructor directly. 

The Department of Education also employs Special Readers, primarily to assist with courses in the Social Research Methodology (SRM) Division, particularly ED 222A/B/C/D, ED 230A/B/C, and other statistical methods courses. Special Readers are also occasionally appointed to assist with courses in the Teacher Education Program (TEP), particularly ED 413A/BC and ED 425. 

Appointments of Special Readers are made on a quarterly basis. If you are interested in applying for a Special Reader position, please check course listings and contact the instructors directly, or contact the SRM or TEP Office. 

The Department of Information Studies offers only two undergraduate courses, IS 20 and IS 30. Frequently, these courses have relatively large enrollments, and in the past have employed TA’s. The Department also employs Special Readers. 

Appointments of Special Readers are made on a quarterly basis for courses with large enrollment figures. Special Readers are usually second or third-year doctoral students and must have completed the course previously. If you are interested in a TA or Special Reader position, please contact your faculty advisor.

Employment policies describe certain rights, benefits and expectations that encourage professionalism, service, and contribution. The policies that govern each employee group depend on the employee payroll title. All personnel policies can be found at UCLA's Campus Human Resources.

Please read the UC Personnel Policies for UC Staff Members (PPSMs). In addition, some positions at the University may be covered by a union and specific policies agreed upon by the University and the bargaining Union apply. If the payroll title is clerical (Clerk-Administrative Assistant series) the Clerical Unit Contract (CUE) applies; if the title is “Staff Research Associate”, the Research Support Professionals Unit Contract (UPTE) applies; if the payroll title is Computer Resource Specialist or Lab Assistant, the Technical Unit Contract (UPTE) applies; if the payroll title is Lab Helper, the Service Unit Contract (AFSCME) applies.

There may be times during your career at UC when you need to take a leave of absence. There are a number of types of approved leaves of absence: Family and Medical Leave, Furlough, Leave without Pay, Military Leave, Paid Leave.



 How to request a leave
Talk to your supervisor to request a leave of absence.



Benefits while on leave
The chart explains what happens to your benefits if you take a leave of absence. You may wish to talk with your location's Benefits Office to make sure you understand all the implications of your leave.



If you move out of the medical/dental service area
If you continue UC-sponsored medical or dental coverage and you move out of your plan's service area for more than two months during your leave, UC regulations allow you to transfer to a UC-sponsored plan that provides service in your new location. You must transfer within 31 days of the date you leave the service area. Contact your local Benefits Office. You and/or your eligible family members may also need to select a new primary care physician(s). Contact your medical plan carrier.



UCRP service credit
In most cases, you do not earn UCRP service credit while on a leave of absence. However, you may be able to buy back the service credit.



Returning from leave
When you return to work, records must be updated, benefits must be activated, and forms must be processed. If you continued coverage during your leave, at some locations coverage continues automatically. At other locations, you must re-enroll. Because procedures vary by location, it is very important that you review your benefits with your local Benefits Office within 31 days after you return to work.

For some plans, you have a new period of initial eligibility (PIE) in which to enroll, re-enroll, or make changes. If you miss the PIE, some plans allow you to enroll during Open Enrollment, usually held in November. Other plans may require you to submit a statement of health to the insurance company; doing so, however, is no guarantee that you will be accepted. To be sure you get the coverage you want, sign up during your PIE.

In addition, you must meet all eligibility requirements when you return to work. If your appointment changes when you return to work, your new appointment will determine the benefits in which you may enroll. If you have family members eligible for coverage, contact your local Benefits Office to enroll them within your new 31-day PIE.



Retiring/ending employment while on leave
Contact your local Benefits Office if you end UC employment while on leave, and read the Termination of Employment Checklist [PDF]. Ask your Benefits Office for more information about your options for continuing group coverage.

If you decide to retire while on leave, see the Retirement Handbook [PDF] for information. Because a leave may affect your retirement benefits, be sure you discuss your options with your local Benefits Office before you elect to retire.

UCLA is committed to providing a safe work environment for faculty, staff, students and visitors — one that is free of violent behavior and threats of harm. UCLA prohibits violent behavior and threats of harm affecting the workplace. Such behavior violates both law and University policy. The Behavioral Intervention Team (BIT) is a multidisciplinary team consisting of representatives from Campus Counsel, Staff & Faculty Counseling, Insurance & Risk Management, UCLA Police Department and Employee & Labor Relations.

The team depends on referrals and reviews situations involving faculty, staff and others that have raised concern they may be at risk of harming themselves or others, or pose a significant disruption to the campus environment. Behavior does not need to be illegal to be of concern.


Questions or reports should be directed to Chris Silva, Behavioral Intervention Team Coordinator, at (310) 794-0422 or ccsilva@chr.ucla.edu.

We have also endeavoured to achieve AA accessibility as measured against version 1.0 of the WCAG. We are aware however, that a number of the checkpoints of the WCAG are subjective — and although we are sure that we have met them squarely, there may be instances where interpretation may vary.
