TA and LA Orientation

About TA and LA Orientation

SAS requires LAs and SEAS requires undergraduate TAs to participate in CETLI's orientation program the first semester they are LAs or TAs. This program helps prepare participants to help their students thrive and to work professionally with their peers.

Some departments provide separate training for undergraduates. If you are not sure what you need to do to prepare to be a TA or LA, contact your school or department or email CETLI for more information.

Spring 2024 Orientation Dates: TBA
