Question 4

The Office of Graduate Studies requires all graduate students, except those with an undergraduate degree from an institution where English is the sole language of instruction (according to the World Higher Education Database or the Office of Graduate Studies), to demonstrate oral English proficiency before they are appointed to Teaching Assistant (TA) or Associate Instructor (AI) positions. Review the university policy

Do you meet this requirement?

Question 5

Have you been subject to any administrative or judicial decisions within the last 7 years determining that you have committed any misconduct, are currently being investigated for misconduct, left a position during an investigation for alleged misconduct, or have filed an appeal with a previous employer?

“Misconduct” means any violation of the policies or laws governing conduct at the applicant’s previous place of employment, including, but not limited to, violations of policies or laws prohibiting sexual harassment, sexual assault, or other forms of harassment, discrimination, dishonesty, or unethical conduct, as defined by the employer.

Question 6

Effective January 1, 2025, the University of California, Davis, will comply with Senate Bill 791 and Assembly Bill 810. 

Recent California legislation (SB 791 and AB 810) requires misconduct disclosures, and in some cases outreach to prior employers, when considering candidates for vacant academic appointments. This legislation and its implementation by the University of California aims to improve the climate and safety of all UC campuses. 

To comply with these laws:

  • All academic applicants will be required to sign an "Authorization of Release" form. 
  • All final candidates will be required to complete the Employee Disclosure Questionnaire. 
Question 7

Are you able to provide evidence of employment eligibility (US Citizen, lawful Permanent Resident, eligible Visa status (J1, F1), Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA))? This information is used solely to determine employment TA eligibility and will not affect your candidacy.
