Step-By-Step
Adding Accounts To Your Course Site
Self-Enroll User
(Text version)

1. Information Technology Services will, upon requesting a course site for a particular semester, populate all Arts & Sciences, Engineering, Nutrition and Veterinary School course sites with the Blackboard accounts of registered students. All other Blackboard course sites must be populated manually by using either the "Enroll User" function or Self-Enroll User Function.

2. All instructors and TAs can manually enroll user accounts using the "Self-Enroll User" function.

3. To Self-Enroll a user account on your Blackboard course site:

• Login to the Blackboard course site as usual.
• Go to Control Panel /Settings / Enrollment Options. This will display the "Enrollment Options" form.
• Select the Self-Enrollment radio button. If you want the self-enrollment limited to a certain time period check the start and end date boxes and using the dropdown boxes choose a start and end date for self-enrollment. If you want to require a special password to self-enroll, checkmark the "Require Access Code to Enroll" box and type in a password. Students self-enrolling will need this password to initially self-enroll in the course site. Finally click on the "Submit" button at the bottom of the page. A receipt will be displayed telling you that the enrollment options have been updated.

4. Students can now self-enroll on your course site. For a student to self-enroll:

• The student must first log into Blackboard as usual. Students must have a Blackboard username and password to self-enroll.
• The student should then click on the "Course Catalog" tab at the top of the display.
• The student then clicks on the appropriate semester listing located on the right of the display. This will display the Blackboard course catalogue for that semester.
• The student then locates the course following the appropriate sub directories.
• The student then clicks on the "Enroll" button located to the right of the course name. This will display the self-enrollment form for that course site.
• If you required a special password to enroll, an access code box will be displayed on the page. The student must enter the password you selected for self-enrollment. If you did not require an access code the box will not appear.
• Finally, the student clicks on "Submit" at the bottom of the page. A receipt will be displayed for the student telling them they are now enrolled in the course site. Clicking "ok" will open the course site

5. The student is now enrolled in the course site. The next time they log into Blackboard there will be a link to the course site listed on their home page under "My Courses".
