Granting Access to a Canvas Course
If you are an IC faculty or staff member (including alumnus, retiree, or professor emeritus) and need access to a Canvas not assigned to you, such as when an instructor leaves the college or goes on sabbatical, you can request help here - Grant Access to a Canvas Course.
Note that this process will require duplicating the Canvas course, removing student submission data, and sharing the copied resources with the new faculty member. Written permission from the Associate Dean of the school in question is required to access student submission data.
Note that if you are from outside the College, you will need to work with the academic department and IC Human Resources to obtain an IC Affiliate Account - see the article on Access to Canvas as a Non-IC Instructor.
Alert: It can take the various IC departments, software systems, and services up to 72 hours (Monday-Friday) for all paperwork to be processed and for access and enrollment in Canvas to be completed. Please plan accordingly.
