The Spring 2007 auto-created Bb course "shells" are set to expire on June 15, 2007 after grades are due. This means the course will automatically revert to being unavailable to students, but faculty will still see the course link. This will help students who frequently complain about having numerous links to old courses in Blackboard. They can request ongoing access from the instructor, who can override the duration settings manually. This may be helpful for processing incompletes, but the majority of students will not have to request to be un-enrolled from old courses.
If you have any questions or concerns, you can send an email to blackboard@umbc.edu.
