Procedure ‐ Adding TAs to classes - NDSU-Performing-Arts/helpdesk GitHub Wiki

Beginning this semester (Fall 2023), instructors, TAs, and other users such as graders, will no longer be able to be added directly to Blackboard, to ensure compliance with FERPA.

The new process to add these roles to your Blackboard courses is:

1. Departments must have the instructors, TAs, and graders complete the NDUS Data Privacy and FERPA training and then submit a Campus Connection Security Access form for each instructor, TA and grader that needs access. https://www.ndsu.edu/registrar/facstaff/access/

   1. This takes one to two days for processing.

2. Once the user has been created in Campus Connection, their name will show up for the departments to add them to course sections in CLSS.

   1. Once Jacoba adds the user to the course, it takes one to two days for the user to show up in Campus Connection.

3. After being added to CLSS they will be assigned to the section in Campus Connection, which will populate them into the Blackboard course.

   1. It takes one to two days for the user to show up in BlackBoard.

   2. Once the user shows up in Blackboard, instructors must go to each BlackBoard Course, Select "Users and Groups > Users," click the arrow to the right of the user's name, and select "Change User's Availability in Course."

   3. Under "Available (This Course Only)," select "Yes."

4. If you have questions, please reach out to the Office of Registration and Records at 231-7981 or [email protected].
