:Welcome to TAing at Stanford.  Please read the contents of this handbook
+
#REDIRECT [[Welcome]]
-
very carefully and follow the instructions as indicated.  If you have
+
-
any questions at this time or in the future, please feel free to stop by
+
-
my office and I will be happy to help. Note that I am available during
+
-
office hours (check my schedule each week) and by appointment.  This
+
-
list contains administrative tasks you need to complete as well as
+
-
information that you should be aware of.  "Getting Started as an EE
+
-
TA" lists more items that should be taken care of as soon as possible.
+
-
 
+
-
1) Obtain an email address: If you do not already have a Stanford
+
-
e-mail account please open one as soon as possible.  Since most
+
-
correspondence will be via e-mail, it is critical that you get into the
+
-
habit of checking e-mail frequently. Stanford accounts are opened online
+
-
at [http://sunetid.stanford.edu http://sunetid.stanford.edu].
+
-
Questions should be directed to the IT Help Desk at 725-HELP.
+
-
 
+
-
2) Contact info: Please send an email to me ([mailto:tasha@ee.stanford.edu tasha@ee.stanford.edu]) with your local address, phone number and Stanford email address.  It is also required for all EE students to enter their email address, day time
+
-
office and phone number (if applicable) in the "Address" portion of
+
-
the student Axess system.  The email address is added to the EE
+
-
distribution list and it is the OFFICIAL means of notifying students.
+
-
This address will be used to inform students of information ranging from
+
-
registration requirements and holds to departmental parties.  The office
+
-
and phone information are used to create a departmental directory.  For
+
-
all but first-quarter students, failure to enter this information into
+
-
the Axess system will prevent a student from submitting their study list
+
-
online.  This will likely result in late fees.  To prevent this,
+
-
students are strongly encouraged to open an e-mail account and enter the
+
-
data as soon as possible.  It is essential that this information be
+
-
up-to-date at all times.
+
-
 
+
-
3) This handbook: Please read the rest of this handbook.  Pay special
+
-
attention to "The Care and Feeding of Teaching Assistants."  It will
+
-
help you to understand what will be expected of you and what you can
+
-
expect from us.
+
-
 
+
-
4) Payroll paperwork: To receive your paychecks on time, you need to
+
-
finish your new-hire paperwork by the end of the first week of the
+
-
quarter.  You are required to pay (or make arrangements with the Bursar
+
-
to pay through payroll deduction) all non-tuition fees on or before the
+
-
University deadline.  Failure to take care of these fees will result in
+
-
late charges.  Here is a list of some important pay-related forms:
+
-
 
+
-
::4a) EE  Course Assistantship form (required): [http://myee.stanford.edu/ http://myee.stanford.edu/]  If you are part of a faculty research group, list the group's administrative assistant as the "Administrative Contact," otherwise

+
-

+
-
bottom of the form.  The form must be printed, signed, and submitted to
+
