Requesting Student Access to Past Courses

Issue/Question

I'm trying to access a Blackboard course site from a past semester, but I'm getting a message that says the following:

This course has ended.

You can no longer access this course.

Cause

In order to make full use of Blackboard's Ultra Base Navigation, courses are now assigned to Terms. Courses automatically become inaccessible to students 12 weeks after the semester ends.

Resolution

Students

If a student needs access to a course site past the 12 weeks indicated above, they will need to ask their instructor to submit a request for an exception. Only the instructor of the course may make this request. 

Instructors

Please complete this request to grant students access to past courses.
