DoIT has created new Summer 2009 Blackboard course shells for all courses in the Schedule of Classes as of 5/1/09. By default, a Bb course shell is unavailable (to students) until the instructor of record makes it "available."
With the creation of the summer shells, users will notice that the course id format has changed to reflect the new Peoplesoft Student Administration system. Course ids can be found with the appropriate course listings under the “myCourses” tab. Instead of the usual “SCI100_7050_SU2009” course id, the new format will be “SCI100_1.1099_SU2009. The number “1.1099” comes from the schedule/class number that appears in the schedule of classes and is generated by the Student Administration system.
Automatic course enrollment is also controlled by this new id number and is listed in the description field of each course. The course auto-enrollment process will not have any changes except for the number.
