Make a habit of looking for the Unavailable label next to each course title in your Blackboard course list. This will help you know the availability status of your course.

Course Availability

In order for your students to use your Blackboard course, you must make your course visible to students manually using the Control Panel. Your students do not see the course by default.

As a faculty member, all courses that have you listed as the instructor will show up in your course listing about a month before the semester begins. Your students will not see your Blackboard course until you make it available to them.
