Anyone who appears in the SumTotal system can to be designated as an instructor. This would ONLY include those users being fed from your campus PeopleSoft instance or Central registry. Instructors who do not have an employment relationship with the university will not be eligible to be an instructor.

Green step one is to select Adminstration. Green step two is to select Quick Links. Green step three is to select All Users.

Step 2:  Use the Search box to search for the user that needs to be designated as an instructor (Search criteria can be first name, last name, e-mail address, CalStateEduPersonID [CEPID]).
