This form is only used to request Canvas access for an observer completing a formal course evaluation.  If you require an observer in your Canvas course for any other reason, please email your request directly to pcconline@pasadena.edu


Important Guidelines

  • Observers may request access for a maximum of 7-consecutive days.
    • You will choose the start and end days.
    • Access time will begin and end at the same time of day
      • For example, if you choose a start date of Nov.1, and an end date of Nov. 8, your access will begin on Nov 1 at 8:00 AM, and it will end on Nov 8, also at at 8:00 AM.
      • Counting full days:  End date - Start date = Number of full days
        • Nov 1 – Nov 7, equals only 6 full days. So, if you need a full 7 days, you'd be short a day.
        • Nov 1 – Nov 8, equals 7 full days.
  • Requests are manually scheduled each day.  A confirmation email will include date/time details, and will be be sent to both faculty and observer, once the observation has been scheduled in Canvas.
    • If you need to reschedule, please email your request to pcconline@pasadena.edu
    • If you need an extension or a follow-up observation, please email your request to pcconline@pasadena.edu and CC both the faculty member being evaluated, and their dean.
    • Submit your request ahead of time. If you submit your observer request on the same day in which you want access to begin, your access may be delayed until later in the day, or even delayed until the next morning.
  • Once scheduled, observer names will appear in your course's "People" list immediately, but they cannot see anything until their scheduled start date.  Their name will disappear from your "People" list at the end of the access period.
