Long Course Lists

For instructors with many courses, it can be difficult to find a course in the course list. The best solution is to use the search function to shorten the list. 

...

  • Three-letter department code

  • Three-number course code

  • Semester name, i.e. "Fall 23Fall23" or "Spring 23" Spring23" — enter it exactly in this format and do not include a space between the letters and numbers

  • Term or Semester code from the Course ID, i.e. "1231" for Fall 2022 courses

Once you've located your course, clicking the star button will set it to the top of your courses list as a "Favorite." Clicking the purple star will remove the designation and remove it from your "favorites" list.

Edited Course Dates

Courses in Blackboard are located under term labels based on a duration set within the course. The duration is automatically populated upon creation with a default start date four weeks before the start of main campus classes and a default end date of the final day of the month following the term. If an instructor has adjusted these dates, the course will move to a new area within the system.

...

Hidden Courses

Instructors are able to hide courses from their own view. This does not impact the view for other instructors or for students. Students are not allowed to hide courses they are enrolled in.

...

Identify the course and select the ellipsison the far right of the course card. In the drop-down menu select "Show course". The course should then appear in the appropriate area under "Terms".
