Guest Accounts for Non-Faculty Users:
From time to time a non employee of Alamo Colleges,(e.g. Accreditation Auditors),may need temporary access to view a Canvas course. In order to provide access, an individual must have a departmental sponsor (usually a Chairperson) justify why the access is needed. The sponsor will be responsible to work with the individual to complete the Canvas User Access Request Form and provide it to the IIC for processing.
