* I have too many courses on my homepage when I log in to Blackboard. How do I hide my old courses?

To hide old courses, click on the gear icon next to My Courses on your Blackboard homepage.  From here, you can check or uncheck which classes you want to show on your homepage, then click Submit.  This does not delete old courses; it simply hides them from view.  You can access your hidden courses by clicking on the Courses tab at the top of the screen.

* My students can't see my course.

• The student should check with the Registrar to confirm that s/he is officially registered for the course.  Only students who are officially registered will see Blackboard courses listed on their Blackboard Home Page.
• There is a delay of a day or two from when a student registers for a course and when the student appears in the Blackboard course.  If the student is logging in immediately after registering, he or she should check back in a few days.
• If the instructor for the course is listed as “Staff,” the course will not appear in Blackboard. The instructor should contact the Registrar’s Office to be listed on the Banner roster which will transfer to Blackboard.
• The instructor should check that the course is set to “Available” for the students.  To do so, go to Control Panel > Customization > Properties and make sure that “Yes” is clicked after “Make Course Available.”

* I can't see my courses.

Courses are created automatically based on data in Banner.  If you are not listed as the instructor for the course in Banner (i.e. your course is listed as “Staff”), your course will not appear in Blackboard.  Please contact the Registrar or your department to get assigned to that course in Banner.
