Bb Users,
This is just a reminder that course merges and student enrollments are not processed in real time. They are processed at night (every night except Saturday and holidays).
This weekend is a holiday weekend, so Blackboard’s nightly data feed will run on Friday night (1/15), and will not run again until Monday night (1/18) because of the MLK Day. That means that students who register for courses online on Saturday or Sunday will not have Blackboard access to those courses until late Monday night.
Likewise, as students change their schedules throughout the next two weeks, the enrollment data will not be passed to Blackboard until that night. While you can manually add students to your Blackboard course, keep in mind that if the student drops the course, they will NOT BE REMOVED from Blackboard by any automated process, so it is better to wait for the nightly data run if you can.*
* If you don’t want to wait until night but want to ensure that students will be removed from your course if they decide to drop it, you can contact the Help Desk during normal business hours with the student CNumber and CourseID, and we can add the student for you.
Please share this information with your students, and have a great semester.
-Jennifer
