Getting Started > Student Enrollment

Students are enrolled into your site based upon the call numbers you specify in your site request. The batch enrollment process is run two weeks before the semester begins, and then on every Tuesday and Friday until the Add/Drop deadline has passed. The batch enrollment will add students into your course site, but you will need to remove students that drop.

If you are running a course site that does not have a call number you can send a list of the netids of the students that you'd like enrolled to blackboard@uic.edu.

If the students or users you wish to enroll in your site are not affiliated with UIC or do not have netids please contact us by sending an e-mail to blackboard@uic.edu.

If for some reason your students did not get captured by the batch upload you can enroll student accounts already on the system into your course site. Please review the "Adding Users" section for more information.

Q: How do I login to the system?

To login to the system you must have an account (username and password). If you are an instructor and you do not have a username and password you can request a site by clicking on the link labeled "Request a Site" above.

If you already have a Blackboard account visit http://blackboard.uic.edu and login using your username and password.

If you have forgotten your password you can try to reset it yourself by visiting http://passwords.accc.uic.edu.

If you are unable to login altogether please send an e-mail to blackboard@uic.edu.

Q: What happens to my site at the end of the semester?

At the end of the semester your Blackboard site will remain on the server for one full year. This will allow you to request a copy of the course site if you teach it annually, or if you teach it every semester.

Student access to your site will be turned off according to the dates of availability you submitted in your Blackboard site request (by default this will occur two weeks after the semester ends). Your site will remain accessible to you and all other instructors for the full year.

After your site has been on the server for one full year we will archive it, save it on disk, and remove it from the server. If at any time you would like an old site restored you can submit a request to blackboard@uic.edu and we will restore it to the server.

Q: Do students need training?

Blackboard is a web browser based learning management system. Most students are able to use the system with little to no training. If a user knows how to browse the web they will know how to use Blackboard.
