Requesting Access As an instructor, you will be able to access all classes for which you are an instructor-of-record automatically. If you don’t see a class that you are teaching in the faculty center – contact your dept’s class scheduler to check if you are listed as an instructor for that class.

Instructor Delegates A delegate may be a student (TA), a staff member, or another faculty member. TA’s who enter grades, but don’t submit grade changes or assign delegates to a class should be set-up with an Instructor Role of TA with POST access. If a TA is the primary instructor, and will both enter and change grades, they should be set up as a primary or secondary instructor with POST access.
