Changing Blackboard Courses Access between Open and Closed (How-to)

All newly created Blackboard Learn courses are Closed to students by default. Instructors need to manually change the course access to Open.

  • To change the course access for student access to Blackboard Learn courses, see Course Access.
    • Note: If you have past dates in your course, students will be notified of late course expectations once the course is opened to students. It is best to update all dates before making your course open to students.

If you have any further questions, please submit a Blackboard Ultra Request.
