This page covers how to use the Microsoft Team integration in Ultra course.

Overview

• The Microsoft Teams integration can only be enabled by users with the ‘Instructor’ role in HuskyCT.

• Enabling the Microsoft Teams integration creates a “Class Team” which offers teaching and learning tools that are not available in the standard Staff or Professional team.

• Instructors need to periodically resync the HuskyCT-Teams roster to add or remove students from the Class Team who have added or dropped the course.

  • Instructors cannot manually remove students from the Class Team.
