Add a new or temporary instructor to a course in Canvas at IU
At Indiana University, instructors automatically have access to courses in Canvas for which they are listed as the Faculty of Record. In some instances (for example, when an instructor is unavailable due to a long-term illness), a school or department may need to add a new or temporary instructor to a course.
- Permanent: To permanently add an instructor as Faculty of Record for a course, the appropriate school or department administrator should contact the campus Registrar to request the change. The new instructor will have access to the course in Canvas within 24 hours of the Registrar making the change. If the instructor needs immediate access in Canvas, email eLearning Design & Services Help at edshelp@iu.edu using the Temporary instructions below.
- Temporary: If the teaching assignment is temporary (for example, the original instructor is ill) or a new instructor needs immediate access to a course in Canvas, the Dean or Chair should email eLearning Design & Services Help at edshelp@iu.edu with a request similar to the following; make sure to include an IU email address for each instructor and the appropriate course ID(s):
My name is
Dean/Chair's name
, and I am theDean/Chair
ofdepartment name
. Please add the following individuals as instructors to the courses listed below:instructor1@iu.edu
:SP20-BL-MATH-M100-12345
instructor2@iu.edu
:SP20-BL-MATH-M100-67890
Thank you,
Dean/Chair's signature
Course IDs take the form
semester-campus-subject-course_number-section_number
(for example,SP20-BL-MATH-M100-67890
); for help, see Canvas administrator basics. If you can't find the official course ID, provide the ID number from the end of the course's URL in Canvas (for example, http://iu.instructure.com/courses/course_id
).
