Student Advisors Now Available for FCLC & FCRH students
We are excited to announce a new feature that allows you to view your undergraduate students’ primary advisor names directly from your Blackboard course rosters.
To access a student’s advisor name:
- Open your course roster in Blackboard.
- Click the “…” icon next to a student’s name.
- Select “Member Information” from the drop-down menu.
You will find the student’s primary advisor’s name at the bottom of the pop-up window.
Please note this feature is currently only available for FCLC and FCRH students, displaying just the primary advisor’s name.
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.
