Adding instructors or TAs to an account

Instructors and teaching assistants (TAs) can be added individually to an account, or uploaded in bulk.

Teaching assistants need to be added to an account as an instructor before an instructor can assign them to a master class. To learn how to add a TA to a master class, check out our guidance.

Individual

1. From the administrator homepage, select the instructor icon from the Instructors column.

2. Select the Add Instructor button, which is the rightmost button located above the instructor list.

3. Select Add individual.

4. Enter the first name, last name, and email address.

5. Select the Submit button to add the instructor to your institution's account.

Multiple

Multiple instructors can be added to an account at once by submitting a list of instructors in a Microsoft Excel™ file. In Excel, in a row, separate the first name, surname, and email address into different columns:

1. From the instructors list page select Add instructor.
2. Select Upload List.
3. Select the choose file button and locate the file containing the list of instructors’ first names, last names, and e-mail addresses. Only .xls and .csv file formats are supported.
4. Select Submit to upload the list.

The newly added instructors will now show up on the instructor list page for this account. After the instructors have been added they can log in and begin using Turnitin.

Removing instructors

Removing an instructor will not permanently delete their user profile, but it will remove their access to the institutional account, and any classes or assignments they have created. Removed instructors no longer have access to classes, submissions, or any other Turnitin services from the account they have been removed from.

1. Select the Instructors icon to the right of your account name on the administrator homepage.
2. From the instructors list page you can either:
   1. Select the three dots menu at the end if the row and then select Remove.
   2. Select the checkbox next to the instructor name and an option to Remove will appear above the instructor list.
3. You will be asked to confirm that the instructor is to be removed. Select Remove to continue.

Re-adding the instructor using the same email address will return all of their classes and assignments unless they were manually deleted by the instructor themselves before being removed.

Locking instructors

Locking an instructor will restrict their account to view-only. They will have access to their classes and assignments, but will be unable to edit or add to their account.

2. From the instructors list page you can either:
   1. Select the three dots menu at the end if the row and then select Lock.
   2. Select the checkbox next to the instructor name and an option to Lock will appear above the instructor list.
3. A locked instructor is indicated by a red Lock icon beneath the Status column. Instructors can be activated by following the same process and selecting Activate.
4. Instructors can be activated by following the same process and selecting Activate.

Viewing class details

The instructor management page allows administrators to view the class details of individual instructors to gain insights into how Turnitin is utilized within their institution.

To view the class details of an instructor you can either:

• Select the three dots menu at the end if the row and then select Class details.
• Select the number that represents the number of classes for that instructor, within the Classes column.

If the instructor has 0 classes, there will be no class details to review.

Confirming instructor email addresses

When an instructor is added to an account, a confirmation email is sent to the email address provided for the instructor . If the instructor does not have an existing Turnitin account with the email address used, their "joined" date will be highlighted in orange until they first log in. 

To re-send the confirmation Email to new instructor users, select the orange highlighted date to the right of their name.
