Student Enrollment in Blackboard Courses

One week prior to start of each term all courses which have been identified as being needed in Blackboard are automatically populated with the students who have registered for the course. (NOTE: To request that your course be created in Blackboard please complete this online form. Your course will be created within 24 hours of your request and you may begin editing your course in Blackboard at any time.)

After the term begins students will continue to be populated (added) in Blackboard courses automatically once per day after their Add paperwork is processed. Click here for more information about adding students when time is of the essence.

However, student removals from Blackboard courses are NOT automatically processed. Instead instructors are expected to remove students that drop their course manually. Click here for more information about this removal process.

REGISTRATION NOTIFICATION SERVICE:
Instructors can subscribe to be notified when there is registration activity in any of their courses (once the term has begun). The instructor will then be notified via e-mail when students add or drop a class the instructor is teaching, or if a student switches between credit and audit status. If the instructor gets notice that a student has dropped a course in which Blackboard is used, the instructor can go into Blackboard and remove the student from that course.
