<div dir="ltr">Good morning, GSMS sent this message to all the graduate students.  I informed the IT team that CHASS doesn't currently require all graduate students to apply for TA assignments in their department.  This process could be a step they'll take in the future, but the college will need to review this process.  So, anticipate students may be confused and contact your department.  I've asked the GSMS Team to revise their notice for the next term and direct students to their college for additional guidelines, since not all colleges on campus currently use the GSMS application system.  It may be helpful to notify your graduate students ahead of time that an application does not need to be submitted for fall (specially if they've already received a contract) and that they'll be informed at a later time if this process is required through GSMS.  Thank you.<div>Best,</div><div>Perla</div><div><br><div><br></div><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Mon, Aug 24, 2026 at 3:28 PM UCR Information Technology Solutions via Tech-Bulletin <<a href="mailto:tech-bulletin@lists.ucr.edu" target="_blank">tech-bulletin@lists.ucr.edu</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div role="button"><div role="button"></div></div><div role="button"><div role="button"></div></div></div><div><div role="main" dir="ltr" style="outline:none"><table role="presentation" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%" style="border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:0px"><tbody><tr><td><table role="presentation" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" align="center" style="margin:auto;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:0px"><tbody><tr><td width="100%" align="center"><table role="presentation" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%" style="background-color:rgb(0,61,165);background-size:cover;table-layout:fixed;width:1736.11px;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:0px"><tbody><tr><td width="100%"><table width="100%" align="center" style="margin:auto;max-width:800px;min-width:320px;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:0px"><tbody><tr><td style="min-width:12px"></td><td width="100%" style="padding:9px 0px"><table width="33.33333333333333%" style="vertical-align:top;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:0px"></table><table width="33.33333333333333%" style="vertical-align:top;display:inline-table;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:0px"><tbody><tr><td width="100%" style="padding-left:9px;padding-right:9px"><table cellpadding="0px" width="100%" style="border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:0px"><tbody><tr><td width="100%" align="center" style="word-break:break-word"><div style="overflow:hidden"><img src="cid:ii_mt7stb010" alt="image" width="127" height="39" class="gmail-CToWUd" style="height: auto; display: block; width: 239.354px; border: 0px;"></div></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table><table width="33.33333333333333%" style="vertical-align:top;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:0px"></table></td><td style="min-width:12px"></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table><table role="presentation" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%" style="background-color:rgb(248,249,250);background-size:cover;table-layout:fixed;width:1736.11px;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:0px"><tbody><tr><td width="100%"><table width="100%" align="center" style="margin:auto;max-width:800px;min-width:320px;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:0px"><tbody><tr><td style="min-width:12px"></td><td width="100%" style="padding:9px 0px"><table width="100%" style="vertical-align:top;display:inline-table;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:0px"><tbody><tr><td width="100%" style="padding-left:9px;padding-right:9px"><table cellpadding="7px" width="100%" style="border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:0px"><tbody><tr><td width="100%" align="center" style="word-break:break-word"><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.656;margin:0px 0pt 0pt;padding-top:0px;font-family:Arial;font-variant:normal;vertical-align:baseline;text-align:left;padding-left:0pt;text-indent:0pt;font-size:12pt;color:rgb(28,28,28);outline:none"><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0)">Dear Highlander,</span></p><br><p dir="ltr" style="background-color:transparent;border-width:medium;border-style:none;border-color:currentcolor;line-height:1.656;margin:0pt;padding:0pt;font-family:Arial;font-variant:normal;vertical-align:baseline;text-align:left;text-indent:0pt;font-size:12pt;color:rgb(28,28,28);outline:none"><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0)">The </span><a href="https://graduate.ucr.edu/gsms" target="_blank" style="color:inherit;text-decoration:none"><span style="color:rgb(17,85,204);text-decoration:underline">Graduate Student Management System</span></a><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0)"> (GSMS), UC Riverside’s new employment portal for graduate students, is now live!</span></p><br><p dir="ltr" style="back
