What’s New About UMBC’s Blackboard Course Creation & Enrollment Process?

Starting Summer 2025, DoIT is introducing a new Blackboard course creation and enrollment process designed to improve roster accuracy, streamline course management, and lay the groundwork for future enhancements like direct grade export to PeopleSoft. Join us for an information session to learn about what’s changing, how it impacts you, and what steps to take if you teach multi-section or cross-listed courses.

This hyflex session (available both in person and online) will walk you through:

• The rationale for changing the course creation process
• What to expect in Blackboard starting Summer 2025
• How to request course merges via RT
• A look at the new gradebook filters for section-based grading
• Resources and support available from the Instructional Technology team

Whether you teach one course or many, this session will help ensure a smooth start to the semester under the new system.

Please RSVP to join in person or online. A Webex meeting link will be sent to registered participants the morning of the talk.
