Teaching Assistants (TA) in eCampus

Requests for a Teaching Assistant (TA) may be submitted through eRS (log in to eCampus, choose Tools, and then click eCampus Request System OR log directly into eRS at ers.wvu.edu). After submitting a person enrollment for the TA, that person will receive an email directing them to the Code of Confidentiality (COC) system. The TA will be enrolled after the request is completed; however, their access will not be “turned on” until their COC is received. Since a Teaching Assistant can access grades, your TA must sign and agree to the WVU eCampus COC each term they are to be enrolled.

Teaching Assistant Privileges

The Teaching Assistant (TA) role inside of WVU eCampus grants the TA access to nearly everything an Instructor has access to in the Control Panel, with the exception to Contacts, Goals, Tests, Surveys & Pools, Teaching Style, Tool Availability and Export/Archive Course.

The Teaching Assistant (TA) role in eCampus provides privileges for grade center access and grading along with limited editing abilities. 

The TA role will not allow the user to create or build content within the course, only instructors may use those features. If a user needs an instructor role, they must be enrolled as a 0% instructor through Banner. eCampus administrators cannot make these enrollments. Please contact your SLI Coordinator to have the instructor enrollment made.

Enrolling Teaching Assistants

1. To enroll a Teaching Assistant in an eCampus course the instructor of record for the course will make an enrollment request though the eCampus Request System (eRS) at ers.wvu.edu.

2. Once the enrollment request as been made the Teaching Assistant will receive an email notification.

3. At this time the Teaching Assistant will login to ERS to sign the Code of Confidentially agreement. After which, immediate access will be granted to the course.
