SACSCOC requires that Instructors of Record be credentialed by the course. The GPD must file the initial credentialing form no later than the start of the semester before a Graduate Teaching Associate may be added to the schedule of courses. Any time a Graduate Teaching Associate receives a new course assignment, the GPD must credential that student for the new assignment. Departments are expected to maintain accurate records documenting the SACSCOC mandated faculty supervision and observations. Graduate Instructional Assistants do not need to be credentialed, but they must attend mandatory TA training. To credential a Graduate Teaching Associate, click http://go.uncg.edu/gta-credentialing.
