Issue/Question
Why can't I see my course on Blackboard?
Resolution
Students
- Course availability is determined by the instructor. Some instructors grant early access, while others wait until the semester starts.
- If you registered before the beginning of the semester, contact the instructor to see if and/or when the course will be on Blackboard.
- If you registered late, courses are updated at scheduled times. The course should be available following the next update time frame. If not, contact the instructor to see if and/or when the course will be on Blackboard.
- If you previously had access to a course, but the time-frame for the course has passed, you must request access from the professor to have the past course reopened. Please see this article for additional information.
Note: If access to a course from a previous semester is needed, the student will need to contact the instructor of that course and request to have the course enabled again.
