    Procedures:

    Faculty Rights are typically only given to users who are listed with a faculty role or shown as the instructor of a course within Banner. TAs, Course Builders, Graders, etc. will not be given faculty rights; the instructor will need to create the course(s) and then manually enroll anyone needed in the course with an elevated role.

    Exceptions:
    There is staff who, for example, do training each semester for their department (i.e., TRAIN-XXX-XXX-2014Continuous). These users will be granted faculty rights, with proof of their training role. Proof can be provided by the Dean (preferred) or Director/Manager of their department.
