Courses Not Appearing
If your courses
are not listed on Blackboard, it is very likely that you are not the official instructor of the course yet. Please
check with your department chair to confirm that your teaching assignment
has been
submitted to the Registrar's Office and
to Human Resources.
Students Not Able to See the Course
All courses are created as "Unavailable".
This means that the instructor can see the course, but students cannot.
Instructions for making courses available:
- From the Control Panel, click on "Settings" under " Course Options".
- Now click on "Course Availability".
- Click "Yes" to make the course available to users (students and guests).
- Click "Submit" and then "OK" to complete the process.
