Why can't I add another user to my Blackboard course?

Problem

Sometimes an instructor may get an error message when attempting to manually add a teaching assistant or other user to a course.

This error may occur for one of two reasons:

  1. The student was previously enrolled in the course, but dropped – as a result, they are now disabled in the Blackboard course.

  2. The user is already enrolled in the course.

You do not have permission to enroll user error message

Solution

Contact the CIT to resolve Blackboard course enrollment issues. They can verify student registration and/or enable users in the Blackboard course.
