UM3D
Department Aide Role
Overview
The Department Aide role gives departments more local control over Canvas, the UofM learning management system. Department Aides are granted access to all the courses within their department and support their department by managing and creating master and special, non-semester Canvas courses, helping faculty share course content, managing department special enrollments, and sharing Canvas training resources with their instructors.
There are significant permissions of the Department Aide role in Canvas. Individuals with access to this account should understand the appropriate use of the authority. FERPA mandates that users should guard all forms of student course information from any misuse. Additionally, serious technical issues can arise if Department Aides override information fed from UofM's information system, Banner. Banner controls the creation and population of all for-credit courses taught through the university.
Requirements
The following are requirements for each person appointed to be Department Aide.
- Obtain Department Chair/Dean Appointment — A Department Chair or Dean may request that they or an appointee be given Department Aide access. UM3D will grant access to the appointee once a DAs can only be appointed by a Chair or Dean.
- Complete Department Aide Orientation — Once appointed, UM3D will invite the new DA a Department Aide orientation course to become familiar with their new role and responsibilities. While serving in this role, DAs will be given access to special training and resources throughout the academic year.
