If the instructor of record is a Teaching Assistant, the user should automatically be added to the Blackboard course shell via the feed from Banner. 

If the instructor of record is listed as "TA Graduate Assistant" in CougarNet/Banner, your department is required to send the name(s) of the Teaching Assistant / Grad Assistants teaching courses to the Registrar's Office using the AB Schedule Change form. After that form is processed by the Registrar's Office, the user will be added to the Blackboard course shell via the feed from Banner. For questions, contact Academic Scheduling at academicscheduling@siue.edu 



NOTE: This is not the process to add a TA/GA to a course taught by an instructor or faculty member. If the instructor of record is listed in CougarNet/Banner and wants to add a TA/GA to the course, please "Add Users to Blackboard" Knowledge Base article.
