Adding a Teaching Assistant in D2L

Teaching assistants in D2L have similar permissions as instructors, but they are not able to copy course content. For details related to the differences between roles, see the article on Available D2L Roles.

When adding a teaching assistant to a class, keep in mind the following:

• Instructors can add a teaching assistant to their class, but they cannot remove one. To remove a teaching assistant, complete the Remove User request form.
  
• The CDM Grader role is identical to Teaching Assistant, but is invisible to students and instructors in the Classlist.
• Use the Add User request form to request for a user to be added to a course as a Teaching Assistant or another role.
