Issue/Question
How do I make a course available/unavailable for students to view?
Cause
Course availability used to be a part of the Faculty Tools. The setting is now located inside the course.
Resolution
There are two ways to toggle course availability in Blackboard:
- Go to the course in question.
- In the Control Panel, click Customization.
- Click Properties.
- Scroll down to SET AVAILABILITY and choose the appropriate setting.
- Click Submit.
OR
- Click on any menu item that goes to a content area (e.g., Content, Assignments, Tests & Quizzes, etc.).
- At the top-right, between the Student Preview button and the Edit Mode toggle there is a padlock button that toggles course availability.
