How do I add a Teaching Assistant (TA) to a Turnitin class?

To add a Teaching Assistant (TA) to a Turnitin class, you must set up a Master Class and create a Section Class for each TA you wish to add.

Note: TAs cannot be added directly to a standard class. However, you can convert an existing standard class into a master class. See the Converting classes guide for instructions.


Prerequisites for Teaching Assistants

Before adding a TA to a section class, ensure the following account requirements are met:

  • Instructor role: The TA must already be enrolled as an instructor under your institution's Turnitin account. If they lack this role, contact your Turnitin Administrator to update their account permissions.
  • Default user type: The TA must have their default user type set to Instructor within the User Info tab of their profile.

Steps to add a TA

  1. Create a Master Class.
  2. Create a Section Class under the master class (you can create multiple section classes for different TAs).
  3. Assign the TA to their designated section class.
