Students cannot enter Syracuse University Blackboard courses until two conditions are met: 1) the date of access must fall between the start and end dates of the course and 2) an instructor must make the course availableCourse availability is determined by two factors. (1) The term/duration, set by the system administrator, determines whether the course is considered “current” in the Blackboard system. (2) The course Open/Closed status, controlled by the instructor, determines whether students can access a current course. |
Understanding Course Dates
...
All courses instructors and teaching assistance are able to edit the course duration. If you wish to adjust the duration, be sure that the start is set for the first day that you’d like students to view the course and the end date is set to the last day that you’d like students to view the course. Regardless of the availability settings below, a student will not have access to the course outside these dates.
