Step 3:		Scroll down to the end of the page and click on Blackboard Course Site Request.
Step 4:		Choose the appropriate semester and campus and click Submit Query.
Step 5:		All of the courses that you are scheduled to teach should appear. Check the boxes for those you want setup in Bb. Be sure to click Request. You will see a list of the courses you requested. You can expect to see your sites in Bb within 24 hours.		After you click on the "Request" button, you will see the following note: Your request has been submitted. Once your college's Blackboard administrator approves your request, the course(s) will be available to you in Blackboard. If you don't want to see the course(s) in Blackboard until the new semester nears, you can hide t he course by clicking the pencil icon at the top of My Courses in Blackboard. Just remember to display it again prior to the first day of classes. For developmental sites/ special requests, request a developmental site / special requests

Important notes:

1. This new process applies to all Bb instructors - those who teach online and hybrid courses, as well as those who use Bb to enhance their face-to-face courses.

2. After you submit your requests, the Blackboard Administrator on duty will approve them (usually within 24 hours), and your courses will be available in Bb a couple of hours later. If you don?t want to see the courses so early in Bb before the next semester begins, you can click the pencil icon above your course list on the My Institution and/or Courses page to hide the courses from your view.

3. If you need to merge courses or sections into one Bb shell, use the drop-down lists at the right on the Blackboard Course Site Request page in Class Web. If you need more information, click the ?What?s this?? link. For developmental sites / special requests, Click on request a developmental site / special requests.

4. You can begin copying content into your Spring sites whenever you want. If you are still adding content in your Fall courses, you might want to wait until the end of the semester. Here are the copying instructions.

5. If you have already requested all of your Spring sites, you don?t need to request them again (in fact, you won?t be able to). Login to Blackboard to verify that they are setup.

6. There is no deadline to request your sites, but obviously, you?ll want to do this prior to the beginning of the next semester.
