Grant Another Instructor Access to Your Course

You can grant partial, full-course, or section access to another instructor. You might want to do this to share assignments between similar courses.

Note

If you manage your K-12 course through NGLSync, see Add Teachers (NGLSync).

To add a Teaching Assistant (TA) to your account, open a support case on the customer support site.

Open the My Classes page.

Click Classes > My Classes and find the section you want.
Click Edit Class Settings.
Under Section Information, click Add Additional Access.

A list of instructors with the same discipline as that course is displayed.

Note If you do not see the instructor you are looking for, select a different discipline from the Filter by Discipline menu, or select Show All to see all of the instructors and TAs with WebAssign faculty accounts at your school.

If you still do not see the instructor you want, submit a request to Customer Support and request a free WebAssign account for that instructor.

If you want to give an instructor at another school access to your class, you can enter the username and institution code and click Lookup Faculty to find and add that instructor to your class.
Select the name or names of the instructors or TAs to whom you want to give access.
Click Choose Privileges.

The Access page is displayed.
Optional: Clear the check box for Add to roster if you do not want the instructor to be able to see the course as a student would.
If you have a multi-section class, you can add the same privileges for one or more of the same people to additional class sections.
To do so, select the check box for each section you want to grant access, for each person, in the Grant these same privileges for the above user to the selected sections check box.

Select the privileges you want to grant to each instructor and click Grant Access.
