By default, all new Blackboard courses are unavailable to students. Those listed as Instructor will see (unavailable) next to their course name when they log into Blackboard. That means that instructors can access their courses and upload content, but that they’re currently hidden to students.
It is the responsibility of the instructor to make their course available to students at the beginning of the semester. Here’s how:
1. Go into the course site you wish to activate.
2. Go to the Control Panel underneath the Course Menu.
3. In the Control Panel’s Course Options box, select Settings.
4. Select Course Availability from the menu.
5. Select Yes, then click Submit.
As always, if you have questions, email us at blackboard@stonybrook.edu or call 631-632-2777.
Thank you, and have a great semester!

I am taking CLS 215 - Classical Mythology for the winter session now, but I cannot find the class on blackboard. There is only one Spring 2009’s class displaying in “My Courses”. So could you help me with the problem? Thank you very much.

Posted 29 Jan 2009 at 10:13 pm ¶Students cannot activate courses in Blackboard. It is the responsibility of the instructor to do so. Your MAT 131 instructor might not be using Blackboard, so please ask them first. If they have questions on how to activate, they can contact us.
