Hello Teaching Assistants,
As some of you may be aware, Carleton does not issue the first pay check to Teaching Assistants until the end of the first month of each term.
Teaching Assistants holding a TA position of 130 hours can apply for the TA Advance, and receive short-term funding to help them bridge the gap in income.
Via the TA Advance, you can receive up to $750 in the middle of the first month of the term. Any amount received via the Advance is repaid to Carleton through automatic deductions on your first three pay check (250$ per pay check).
PLEASE NOTE the application deadline for the winter 2024 advance is Friday, January 5th, at 5pm
You can download the TA Advance application form here. Applications should be submitted to the Office of the Deputy Provost by email at: Banaaltahir@cunet.carleton.ca
