Step-By-Step
Modifying Course Availability
(Text version)

1. Instructors and TAs can change the over-all availability of their course site.

2. To change the course site's availability:

• Log into the Blackboard course site as usual.
• Go to Control Panel / Settings. This displays the Settings page.
• Click on the "Course Availability" link. This displays the Course Availability form.
• Selecting the "Yes" radio button allows the course site to be accessed by anyone having an account on the course site. If you have configured the course site to allow guests, they will also be able to access the course site. Selecting the "No" radio button causes the course site to be accessible by only the instructor or TA.
• After selecting the proper radio button click on the "Submit" button at the bottom of the page. A receipt will be displayed telling you that the accessibility function has been updated.
• This setting is usually set to "Yes" by the Blackboard administrator when the instructor requests the course site for a particular semester and is set to "No" by the Blackboard Administrator at the end of the semester when the student accounts are removed.
