FA2014 Bb Course Shells Created 7/12/14

Bb course shells for FA2014 were created on July 12, 2014 on the Bb production server at http://blackboard.umbc.edu. Enrollments for FA2014 courses will continue to be updated daily. Bb shells are available for all courses (designated as lecture, lab, field or discussion) listed in the UMBC Schedule of Classes (SOC), provided that there is an instructor of record listed. The addition of new course sections and/or instructors will result in new Bb shells being automatically generated each morning. Student enrollment in Bb will continue to mirror the official registration in SA, and will update hourly.

If you are an instructor, and your name is not associated with the course you are teaching in the SOC, please see your departmental scheduling coordinator to get that issue resolved. Once you are listed in the SOC, your Bb course shell will be created automatically.

Note:

By default, if an instructor is teaching multiple sections of the same course, all sections are combined into one Bb course shell. If you prefer separate shells, please submit an RT ticket to split sections.
If you need a shell for a research or independent study course, please submit a new course request.

As a reminder, all Bb course shells are initially unavailable to students until the instructor makes it available. For help, visit www.umbc.edu/blackboard/help.
