Are you looking for a way to manage Department Administrators in Course Evaluations? This article will show you the steps to add and remove Department Administrators so your list can remain accurate over time.

1. Setting up the Faculty Record

  • Set Up Menu - Core Data - Faculty/Staff.
  • Review the list to see who has the role of Department Administrator assigned by filtering on the role at the top of the screen.


  • If the name needed is not on the list, go to the person’s faculty record and check the 'Department Administrator' box.


  • Click 'Save'.


Note - This step can be automatically done by adding a ‘Y’ in the Department Administrator column in the Faculty Import.
