What are the requirements for receiving an assistantship?
In order to get any of our Assistantships, you must be a registered UCLA graduate student with at least 12 units for that quarter. Also, if you are an International Student (this includes Permanent Residents) from a non-English speaking country, you MUST pass UCLA’s TOP exam in order to be considered for a TAship. We cannot give you a teaching assistantship until you pass this test. We strongly advise International Applicants to take this test before applying, as there is no exemption for the TOP exam.
