Fall 2024 course development for GPS and on-campus Blackboard courses opened on Wednesday, June 5, 2024. Faculty must add content to begin developing fall courses.

Empty course shells are automatically created and made available for all traditional fall 2024 courses. Non-traditional courses: competency, dissertation, independent study, internship, and thesis courses are automatically created but not made available. You can make your non-traditional course available on the Blackboard Course Management website.

To access your fall courses in Blackboard:

Once you have clicked on “courses” in the left-hand navigation on the institution page, it may default to “Current Courses” which may be spring or summer courses. To see your fall courses, click the “x” next to current courses or use the center drop-down to select 2024 Fall.

Students receive access to undergraduate on-campus courses on Sept. 1. Graduate, online, and combined graduate/undergraduate courses open on the first day of term, Sept. 4, 2024.

Please follow the instructions below to add content and upload a syllabus to promote student success.
