How am I enrolled in a Blackboard course?

A specific program is run at the college daily that enrolls students into the Blackboard courses for which they have registered. This procedure takes approximately 24 hours from the time you register.

I am enrolled for the next semester. Why can’t I see my class in Bb?

Typically, online courses are not made available to students until the first day of on-campus courses. If you do not see your course after the beginning date (shown in the schedule) of on-campus courses, please call the Distance Education Center at 832-7745 for assistance.

When do online courses begin?

Online courses begin the same day that on-campus courses begin and follow the same calendar as traditional courses.

How do I find out who my instructor is?

You will either be asked to attend an on-campus orientation, email your instructor prior to the beginning of classes, or you will “meet them” online when logging in to your Blackboard course.
