Overview
Instructors with the appropriate permissions may remove a Teaching Assistant (TA) or other specially assigned user from a Canvas course. These enrollments can be managed through the People menu. Student enrollments, however, are managed through the Banner integration.
Before You Begin
Open the correct course and identify the user whose course access needs to be removed. Confirm that the enrollment is one you are authorized to manage.
How to Remove a TA or Special Role
- Open the Canvas course from which you want to remove the user.
- From the course navigation menu, click People.
- Locate the user you want to remove.
- Click the Options menu (three dots) next to the user's name.
- Select Remove from Course. If prompted, review and confirm the action.
