Microsoft Teams for Teaching

Microsoft Teams is a chat-based digital workspace that enables real-time collaboration between faculty and students and learning can extend beyond the classroom.

Class Teams help you easily manage class workflow while engaging every student's voice. You can move quickly and easily from conversations to content creation. You can communicate with students, share files and links, grade assignments and schedule online classes. Students can collaborate on group projects by co-authoring files and engaging in meetings and conversations, all in one place. 

Class Teams Provisioned by NUS

For NUS academic courses, one class team per group is automatically provisioned each term, including Special Terms, for the following class types:

  • Lecture (L)

  • Design Lecture (D)

  • Packaged Lecture (P)

  • Seminar-Style Course Class (E)

  • Sectional Teaching (S)

Class teams for the new terms will be created twice a year, at least 2 weeks before the start of term with rosters synced daily from EduRec/CMIS until the last day of the term.

Daily sync for AY26/27:

For Terms 2600, 2610: Tue, 14 Jul 2026 – Sun, 6 Dec 2026

For Terms 2620, 2630, and 2640: Mid Dec 2026 – Sun, 11 Jul 2027

  • Cross-listed courses will be merged according to the respective class groups.

  • Teaching staff may choose to use Teams as an engagement tool either in complement with Canvas or as a standalone platform. Students will only be allowed into the team after instructors (i.e. team owners) activate it. 

  • Instructors can manually add other students and guests, and these owners/members will not be affected by the roster sync.
