An Instructor can add a Teaching Assistant or co-instructor to their site at any time. The Add an Instructor or Teaching Assistant tool on a site’s homepage will facilitate this.

Students are added to course sites based on official roster data and any changes (adds/drops) are synced daily. No manual adjustments in Brightspace are necessary.

Brightspace refers to all roster-based categories (labs, lectures, seminars, etc.) within a course as “Sections”. The steps below will add a new user to all Sections within a site. To add a user to a specific Section(s) (e.g., TAs who only oversee certain labs/tutorials/seminars), follow the steps in Add someone to specific Sections.
