ON-CAMPUS BLACKBOARD COURSE SETUP
There are two instances of Blackboard at UMass Lowell. One is hosted by the Division of Graduate and Professional Studies (GPS, formerly OCE) for non-traditional and fully online courses. On-Campus Blackboard is hosted by Academic Technology in IT.
Each semester instructors use the Faculty Self-Service feature in SIS to create their On-Campus Blackboard course(s). To create your course, use the Course Setup Steps linked below.
