TA Access to Discovery Courses

To request that a TA be added to your course, send an email to help@northwestu.edu. Please include the course code and section number, how you want them to be added (see below) and the role you want them to have.  

There are two options for adding your TA:

• Add with their student account.  Students in the course will know the name of the TA, and the TA will receive all email notices associated with the course.  Include your student’s name in the request.
• A TA account can be assigned to your TA and they will log into Discovery using an unique email address and password.  This option doesn’t include an email account, so they will not receive any assignment or forum notices or receive the emails sent to the class using Quickmail.

There are two possible roles: 

• NU Viewer role.  If your TA only needs to view the content of your Discovery course, ask for the NU Viewer role.  
• NU Editor role.  If your TA will be adding grades to Discovery their role should be NU Editor.  

If you have any questions regarding your TA’s role or if your TA would benefit from a short tutorial on Discovery please send an email to help@northwestu.edu
