How do I gain access to CourseWorks as an administrator?

← Old CourseWorks

You may request access to administrative aspects of CourseWorks via this page:
https://courseworks.columbia.edu/cms/cu_adm/access.html

When you request administrative access, you will be directed to CCNMTL’s faculty support lab for training (Michael Cennamo at 212-854-9058). CCNMTL can give you training on the basics of admin access within the CourseWorks system for purposes of assisting faculty and updating course sites.

The CUIT team helps administrators with administrative access for purposes of setting up and reviewing course evaluations. They can be reached at courseworks@columbia.edu.

When you request admin access (at https://courseworks.columbia.edu/cms/cu_adm/access.html), be sure to indicate the type of access you will need, the subject codes for which you’re requesting access, and whether you’ll need access to the course evaluation system as well.
