Faculty Request Forms
Special Enrollment Request
This form must be completed by the instructor of the course. Please complete the form
to request a Teaching Assistant (with Full access), Teaching Assistant (Grading Only),
Co-instructors, or Incomplete students.
This is NOT for adding students who are registered for the course OR for the primary

the course with different roles.

TA-Grader (REQUIRES PARTIAL TRAINING) only has edit/manage access to the assessment areas of a course such as assignments, discussions, quizzes and grades. They cannot add/edit new items in these tools, only enter grades and feedback for these areas.

This role requires completing the Graduate/Teaching Assistant Training in Canvas.

- 禄 Course Observer
In Canvas, the Observer role can be used to enroll Mentors, Auditors, and Guests who would like to participate in a Canvas course but do not need to earn course credit. Observers have limited permissions that allow them to see what is going on in a course without interrupting the flow of daily course communication. Like students, Observers cannot view a course until it is published and the course has started. When linked to a student, observers can see the student鈥檚 grades. Observers can be linked to more than one student within a course.

This role does not require training.
Course Combine Request
Combining courses allows an instructor to provide content, resources, and assessments in one location for multiple course sections. This is commonly used to combine like sections (Ex: ENGL 1010, sections 001 & 002), honors sections (Ex: ENGL 1010-001 & 800), undergraduate/graduate courses (Ex: ENGL 4250/5250), lab sections (Ex: BIOL-1010-101 & 102), and/or other cross-listed courses (Ex: BIOL-2010 & WFS-2010).
If an incorrect CRN/Course is requested to be combined with another, all the data and information in the combined section will be deleted. Double-check and confirm the courses you are requesting to combine are correct. We cannot retrieve the data once it is deleted.
Community Course Request
Faculty or Staff (who have completed the required training) can request to have an area in Canvas for a program or information for a group of people.
Examples:

- Training/Compliance

* Includes an additional cost.

Master Course Request
A master course is used by faculty to develop a course and continue to update the master for future course offerings. This course will not contain students. It will be a course shell that can be copied to the course offering(s) each semester. Multiple faculty can be added to co-develop the courses.
Student Request Forms
Missing Class Request
Before filling the Missing Class form, check out below the most common causes of courses not showing in Canvas.
- 禄 Why is my course not showing in Canvas?
Here are the usual issues when a course does not show in Canvas:
- You are not looking at the right place. Please make sure that you are viewing your Dashboard or the All-Courses list when you login to Canvas.
- The course may have been combined with another section. Sometimes faculty will combine course sections together that are the same, so it appears you are in an incorrect section. This is especially common with 4000/5000 level courses and lab sections. Please check your syllabus or ask your professor if they have combined your course section.
- The course has a section beginning with R: this is a TNeCampus course and is not in Canvas. Please go to the for more information or contact Amy Phillips if you have questions.
- You have been purged. Please check your schedule on Eagle Online to see if your courses are purged. If so, you will need to contact the Registrar鈥檚 Office as this form will not re-register you in the class.
If you have checked all the possibilities above but none of them apply to you, then your situation should be the following:
Your schedule on Eagle Online shows that you are still officially registered in the course
BUT your class is not showing on your Dashboard or under the "All Courses" list.
If so, please use the "Request Service" button below, complete the request form, and we will assist you. If you are still unsure after going through the list above, please contact the CITL at citl@tntech.edu or 931-372-3675.
Class Removal Request
This form is to be filled when a course that you are not enrolled in is appearing on your Dashboard or under the "All Courses" list in Canvas.
Sometimes faculty will combine course sections together that are the same, so it appears you are in an incorrect section. This is especially common with 4000/5000 level courses and lab sections. Please make sure this is not your situation before filling the course removal form.
Submission of this form does not drop you from a course. Courses can only be dropped through Banner/eagle Online. If you wish to drop a class, please follow the instruction on the course registration page on the registrar's office's website.
