TBA means To Be Announced. You can't check who your TA is, they are students that have applied for the position. You'll know when you first attend your lab or tutorial.

I admit it must sound ridiculous to us now, but think about it this way:
If somebody told you that you were paying about 5000+ for a university that still had lead in their water, that it might take you 5+ hours to choose your courses and that you have a learning system that cannot handle max capacity, thereby preventing you from meeting online deadlines required for your courses...wouldn't you be more suspect to thinking TBA could be a real prof?

Even if the OP meant it as a joke, I'm sure somebody out there doesn't. The all CAPS should be an indicator that it's an acronym, but all names are all CAPS on the MTT.
