Orientation for New Teaching Assistants
If you are new Teaching Assistant, you will receive an email to your 'umontana' student email address from the UM Graduate School with information for an online orientation course, so be sure to watch for that!
New TAs are expected to complete the online course which you can access with your NetID. This course introduces you to policies you will need to know about as employees of the institution, as well as resources and support in student services to which it will be important for you to direct students.
If you are not sure how to find your NetID, please use UM's NetID Lookup tool.
