Q: I registered to a course, but why I cannot see it when
login to Blackboard?
A: There are a few reasons that you
can't see a registered course in Blackboard:
-
The instructor has not requested the course
site in Blackboard yet.
-
The course has been setup, but currently the
instructor made it "Unavailable" to
students.
-
You registered the course or got of the
waitlist just recently, the enrollment takes
1-2 days to be loaded into Blackboard system
automatically.
-
Your registration has a financial hold or
other registration block.
Q:
Can I modify the course list in my Blackboard home page? I
do not want old courses showing there?
A:
YES! You can modify the courses listed on your
Blackboard home page,(the first page that you see after you
login.) If you want to display only current
semester courses, you can actually "hide" the courses you do not want to list on
the home page. Here is how: With "Home" tab selected, you can see a
little pencil icon usually on the top-right side, in "My Courses"
window. If you put cursor on it, it will read as Modify the module: My Courses.
Hit on the button, "Customize: My Courses" page will be displayed. You
can deselect the courses that you don't want to be displayed, or choose the
items that you want to be displayed in your course view, press Submit to have
the changes take effect.
You can also modify your Blackboard home page
contents and layout by clicking on
Modify Content
or Modify Layout
button on the top-right corner when you are in Home tab of Blackboard pages.
Q:
How long I can access the course, and how long will the
course stay in system?
A:
See
UM Course Availability Policy on top of
this page. All undergraduate courses will not be available
to students 3 weeks after the course ends.
So, STUDENTS: If there are any course contents you want to
keep longer, you need to save the documents from your course
to your local computer as soon as you can, or before the
course is set to Unavailable.
All
term-based courses will be available in system for 2 years.
