Finding Your Courses

You are assigned your courses and you want to start early – good idea.  Now let’s look at your courses in Blackboard.

As you enter into blackboard, you will see the institution page with a login module.  We have single sign in, so the same username and password for your email and portal will work here. Once you have signed in, you will see your courses on the right module conspicuously named “My Courses”.

At first you may panic, as there may not seem any order or you will not see a listing of your current semester courses.   Remember, “Do Not Panic.”  This does not require Sherlock Holmes or any great deal of sleuthing.

The default on Blackboard is set to not display this information.  If you follow these simply steps, you can arrange your course listing to be easier search and you can tailor it to meet your needs.   While we will be working with this module on the institution page, you will be able to do this on the “Courses” page as well.

First, move the mouse over to the module called My Courses and you will see a gear or sprocket on the top right of the box.  This tool allow you to edit or personalize the settings of the module.  Click on it with the mouse.

Now simply select the “Group by Term” option and the courses will be presented to you by term.

If you scroll down you will see other options.  Feel free to select whichever selections you wish to see and sort by.

Remember to select the submit button.

Now you can view your courses by term, as well, as include many other features, such as Course ID.
