Instructions

  • Navigate to my.boisestate.edu
  • Click "Log In"
  • Navigate to "LMS Middleware"
  • Click on "Manage Course Sites" in the left navigation menu
  • Click "Search" after selecting the appropriate term and year

  • Click on the "Edit" button next to the course name

  • Enter the Employee/Student ID, then click "Search"
  • From the search results, choose the appropriate course role from the dropdown menu
    • Teaching Assistant allows the person access to your complete course site with the exception of Course Copy. Students currently enrolled in the course for credit cannot be added as teaching assistants
    • Grader allows the person access to only your Grade Center
    • Course Builder allows the person access to your complete course site. But they can not enter or modify grades
    • Instructor allows complete control of the course site
