If you are not the Instructor of Record, you may not automatically see the course in Blackboard.
If you are a new instructor at UA, or a new instructor for the course, the paperwork for your course assignment may not be in the system yet.
Check with your departmental administrators to make sure you are the instructor of record for the course.
You may also check with the Registrar’s Office to confirm you are the instructor of record

Blackboard courses are not always created at the time the course is created in Banner (the student information system).
Check the Courses tab in Blackboard, under the correct semester, to see if your course is present.
Semester Code = the year + the semester
Example: 202210 is the spring of 2022
Spring | Summer | Fall |
|---|---|---|
10 | 30 | 40 |
If you are the instructor of record, and do not see the course you are teaching in Blackboard, you can create the course using the Blackboard Learn Section Maintenance tool.
If you have trouble accessing the Blackboard Learn Section Maintenance tool, please contact the Center for Instructional Technology for more troubleshooting.
If you need a non-integrated course created, for developing content or a course not associated with a Banner course, please contact the Center for Instructional Technology to request a shell.
