Blackboard Course Creation

Blackboard courses are automatically created starting approximately one month prior to registration. Course sites are created based on the class schedule in Colleague. Course sites will be added and removed as the schedule changes. The instructor and students enrolled in the course will also be updated with the connection between Colleague and Blackboard. Updates run daily around 5:30 AM and 5:30 PM.

Spring Semester – Course sites will be created near the beginning of October
Summer Semester – Courses will be created near the end of February
