Q: When will I have access to my Fall courses on Blackboard?
Good news, your fall courses are now available!
If you are teaching a course that does not appear in your courses list, please make sure it is listed on your teaching schedule which can be found via the Faculty Dashboard in the Fordham portal. If the course is listed but still not in Blackboard please contact us. If the course is not listed please contact your department and ask them to update the information in Banner.
Course descriptions need to be updated in Banner in order for the change to reflect on Blackboard.
Add/Drops are processed automatically. If you need to manually add/remove a student or change their role, you can manage enrollment in the course roster.
For resources on using Blackboard including video tutorials and guides, please visit our website at fordham.edu/blackboard. If you need help please contact 718-817-3999 or blackboard@fordham.edu.
For additional FAQs and resources about Blackboard, visit fordham.edu/blackboard, attend one of our workshops, or reach out to us with your availability and we will accommodate small groups and one-on-one sessions.
Have feedback or suggestions on features? Blackboard’s parent company Anthology hosts The Idea Exchange. This is a place specifically for Blackboard to track and manage enhancement requests. It allows for things like upvoting ideas and sharing development plans and statuses. You will need to create an account to access the Idea Exchange.
