9.2 Adding an Instructor to the Instructor/Advisor Table

Purpose: Use this document as a reference for how to add an instructor to the Instructor/Advisor table in ctcLink.

Audience: Class Scheduling Staff.

You must have at least one of these local college managed security roles:

  • ZC CM Instructor Advisor
  • ZD CM Instructor Advisor
  • ZD FWL View Cnt Calc
  • ZZ CM Instructor Advisor
  • ZZ CM Local Configuration
  • ZZ FWL Contract Calc

If you need assistance with the above security roles, please contact your local college supervisor or IT Admin to request role access.

Supporting Information: 

When a new instructor is hired, they will be entered into HCM and synchronized with Campus Solutions to create a person record in Campus Community. Once the person record is available, follow these steps to make them a valid instructor for selection in the class schedule. IMPORTANT: An instructor working at more than one college must have an Instructor/Advisor Table entry for EACH Institution with a 01/01/1901 Effective Date.

Audit Information:

  1. Auditing on the Instructor\Advisor tables was turned on 10/13/2023. Changes made on or after 10/14/2023 have been recorded.
  2. The audit record for the top part of the “Instructor/Advisor Table” tab can be accessed using the PS Query.
    • QCS_SEC_INSTR_ADVR_TBL_AUDIT
  3. The audit record for the bottom part of the “Instructor/Advisor Table” tab can be accessed using the PS Query.
    • QCS_SEC_INSTR_ADVR_ROLE_AUDIT
  4. The audit record for the “Approved Courses” tab can be accessed using the PS Query.
    • QCS_SEC_INSTR_CRSE_AUDIT
  5. Because the role ZZ SS Advisor and ZZ SS Faculty are added  dynamically, there is no entry in the Role\User audit table that  corresponds to when those two roles are added or removed dynamically, so  the queries above will tell you when the user would have been granted  these roles dynamically. Manual edits to a user’s roles are stored in  the Role\User audit table can be accessed using the query QXX_SEC_USER_ROLE_HISTORY.

CampusCE Information:

Instructors teaching in the CNED career for continuing education must also be in the Instructor/Advisor Table. If they already exist in the table, add a row.

  2. Look up the Instructor by ID or Last/First Name.
