Adding Substitute Instructors, Faculty Evaluators, TLC Staff, and Community Ed students to Canvas classes
DO NOT attempt to add anyone to Canvas using a Student or Teacher role. Students and Instructors are automatically enrolled from SURF to your Canvas course several times a day.
It is possible to add MiraCosta College employees to your Canvas course with the Canvas TA role when appropriate – see this set of instructions. This should only be used for employees who have full permissions to edit your course and access your gradebook. Do not add users described on this page to your course as TAs.
For the roles called out below, follow the specified directions to have the user enrolled within your course with the appropriate role.
