OVERVIEW
In the SIS, the term "instructor" can apply to a faculty instructor, adjunct instructor, teaching assistant, or grading proxy. Individuals are set up as instructors on the Instructor/Advisor screen by the staff of the University Registrar, and assigned one of three roles:
- Instructor - the "instructor of record" for the class; has Approve access to grades.
- Teaching Assistant - a graduate student; has Grade access to grades.
- Grading Proxy - a graduate student or department administrator or assistant; has Grade access to grades.
Each of these three roles has specific access to the grade roster, where mid-semester and final grades are submitted. When an instructor is chosen for a class section, the Instructor Role and Access fields automatically populate according to the settings on the Instructor/Advisor table. The Access field can contain one of the following:
- Approve - the instructor can enter and submit grades.
- Grade - the instructor can enter grades, but not submit them.

If an instructor does not appear after repeated attempts to search for him or her, it most likely means that the individual is not entered into the SIS as an "instructor" yet.
