Trained TA/IA Database
Listed in our database are the students who have fulfilled the above requirements to be graduate teaching or instructional assistants, including completion of the International Teaching Assistant assessment. International students will be listed twice, for fulfilling both the TA Training Program (student’s name is followed by “TA/IA”) and for satisfactory completion of the ITA assessment (student’s name is followed by “ITA”).
Only students who are listed in this database may be hired as Teaching or Instructional Assistants on this campus. We have provided a searchable database, which can be queried by Department or by the last name of the student.
