Overview
This article explains how administrators, deans, or employees can request access to a faculty member’s D2L Brightspace course for non-instructional purposes. This guide is intended for university staff who need to view or manage course content without acting as an instructor.
How-To
In the event that an administrator, dean, or employee needs access to a course created by another faculty member for non-instructional purposes, please follow the steps below in order for IT Solutions to receive approval to give permissions to access the course and content.
To request access to a faculty member's D2L Brightspace course shell:
- The Department Chair should make a request to the Dean of their college with the information for the request.
- The Dean will contact Human Resources and give permission to an individual or individuals to grant access to a D2L Brightspace Course.
- Human Resources will evaluate the situation and once approved, they will make the permissions request to IT Solutions.
If a substitute instructor needs emergency access to a past or current semester-based course for instructional purposes, please see the article D2L Brightspace: Emergency Instructor Course Access
Outcome
After completing these steps, the approved administrator, dean, or employee will have authorized access to the faculty member’s D2L Brightspace course shell for non-instructional purposes, allowing them to view or manage course content as needed.
