To add a Teaching Assistant (TA), the instructor must first contact the administrator to request an instructor account for the TA.
Only instructor accounts from the same institution can be added as TAs. Student accounts and external users cannot be assigned as TAs.
Note: If an instructor account has not yet been created for the TA by the administrator or sub-account administrator, an error message will appear (as shown below), and the TA cannot be added.
If you would like to add a teaching assistant (TA) to help manage your Turnitin class, please email the following information to libnews@nccu.edu.tw :
| Email subject: | Application for a Turnitin Instructor Account for a TA |
| TA name: | [Full name] |
| TA email: | [NCCU email address only] |
| Course management end date: |
[e.g., 31 January 2027] The TA’s Turnitin instructor account will be automatically deactivated after this date. |
