Add TA/GA/Faculty Upcoming Change:

Per the Registrar’s Office, as of April 14, 2023, all TAs and GAs should be added to semester sections through Banner. TAs/GAs will no longer be added manually to Banner-generated sections in Canvas by Department Aides or the UM3D team. All TA/GA additions will need to be added to semester sections by department schedulers.  
 
Once a TA/GA’s contract has been approved and FERPA training has been completed, your department scheduler can add TAs and GAs to applicable sections or the department scheduler can place a ticket to have TAs/GAs faculty role activated. This may be submitted via the Registrar’s Office Academic Section Maintenance Request.  
 
Once added to Banner, TAs/GAs will appear as instructors (with instructor-level permissions) in their assigned Canvas course. TAs/GAs will also appear as instructors in Banner with the instructor of record/primary instructor designated in Banner via (P)
 
If you have additional questions about this process, please place a ticket with the Registrar’s Office.
