Canvas – Adding a TA or other Instructor to a Course

Adding Users to Course

As an instructor, you can enroll users as TAs, instructors, etc. in your Canvas course.

NOTE: PLEASE DO NOT ADD USERS WITH EMAIL ADDRESS. 

To add a user to your course:

  1. In your course, click on People in the navigation bar, then click +People.
  2. Under Add user(s) by, select Login ID. Do not add users by email address, as this creates a duplicate account that is not tied to their OU account.
  3. In the box, type or copy/paste in the OU username of the user(s) you would like to add to the course (OUNetID, 4x4, or HSC username). If you are adding multiple users, separate their usernames with a comma.
  4. Choose the Role the user(s) should have and the Section to which they should be added (if necessary). If you add multiple users simultaneously, they will all be given the same role.
  5. If desired, check the box next to Can interact with users in their section only to restrict the user’s access.
  6. Hit the Next button.
  7. You will see a verification screen. If the information is correct and is shown in green, click Add Users. If you get an orange warning prompt that says that Canvas was unable to find a match to what you provided and shows "Click to Add a Name" - do not add users and reach out via a support ticket https://link.ou.edu/canvas
  8. If you need to add users with different roles, repeat steps 1-7, adjusting the role for each.
