Why can't I add a co-instructor to my course?

Co-instructors will need to create an account on BOLD before you will be able to add them to your course(s). Students and co-instructors can be added from the Course Info pop-up on the Course Management page. 

Co-instructors will have the same rights as the instructors and will be able to validate and approve records.
