In order to activate your account as an instructor, you can click Editor Access on the top-bar, and enter the code for a term you taught.
Term codes look like 1189, 1201, etc
The first number will usually be 1, followed by the last 2 digits of the year, and the final number is 1, 5, or 9 (winter, spring, fall)
