Fall 2023 course development for GPS and On-campus Blackboard courses will open on Tuesday, May 30, 2023. This follows our successful transition to Blackboard Base Navigation on May 11.
Empty course shells are automatically created for all fall 2023 courses. Non-Traditional courses: competency, dissertation, independent study, internship, and thesis courses will not automatically be made available. You can make your course available (pdf) on the Blackboard Course Management website.
Students receive access to undergraduate on-campus courses on Sept. 3. Graduate, online and combined graduate/undergraduate courses open on the first day of term, Sept. 6, 2023.
