Disabling Messaging on Blackboard Course Sites

Issue/Question

I am receiving message notifications from students on my Blackboard Site. How do I prevent this from happening?

Environment

Resolution

1. Log into Blackboard. 
2. Navigate to the course where you wish to disable course messages. 
3. Click the Course Settings gear in the upper-right corner. 
4. Move the slide for course messages to the off position. This will disable the course messaging feature in the given course.
