Step-By-Step
Removing Accounts From Your Course Site

(Text version)

1. Blackboard allows instructors and TAs to remove any account that is currently associated with a course site.

2. Although Information Technology Services may populate some Blackboard course sites with the accounts of registered students, it cannot remove the accounts of those students dropping the course. If a student drops your course you must remove the account from the course site manually.

3. To remove an account from a course site:

  • Log into the Blackboard course site as usual.
  • Go to Control Panel / Remove Users From The Course. This will display the Remove Users form.
  • Type in the last name of the user you want to remove from the course site and click on the "Search" button. This will display all of the users holding accounts on the course site with that last name.
  • Checkmark the box to the left of the account you want to remove, type "Yes" in the box, and click on "Submit" on the bottom of the page. A receipt will be displayed telling you that the account has been removed.
  • As an alternative, you can click on the "Search" button without typing in a name. This will list all of the accounts on the course site. Checkmark the account you want to remove, type "yes" in the box and click on the "Submit" button. A receipt will be displayed telling you that the account has been removed.

4. Because of security, instructors or TAs may not remove an account listed on the site as having instructor access. TA accounts can be removed. If you want an instructor account removed from your course site contact the Blackboard administrator at: nhirsig@tufts.edu.
