## What do I need to apply to be a UTA?

First, you’ll need to apply to the Talent Center. This is the website where you will attach a Resume. You will also need a recommendation from a current CS faculty member. I would recommend getting close to some of your CS professors, it will also benefit you in the long run if you need to apply for Graduate School and future internships! Often, professors with tenure are the ones who are also faculty members (Petrucci, Hoffman, Tan, Garrison, Ramirez, etc...). The professor can e-mail [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]) or submit the letter to this [form](https://forms.office.com/r/parYapkfkY).

## How reachable should I be?

You should try to be as reachable as possible. You don’t need to dedicate an immense amount of time to being a UTA, but you should try to be as active as possible. Students understand that as a UTA, you have to balance schoolwork on top of your duties. If a student sends you an email with a question, try to answer it within a couple of hours. Additionally, try to set up a Discord Server or some method of communication where students can communicate with each other, and you can monitor their whereabouts. Oftentimes, when a student has a question about a concept or code, answering it in a shared Discord Channel, may help answer another student’s question. You will need to be active in Microsoft Teams for the Peer Tutors and UTA channel coordinated by Student Success.
