Today, August 3, 2006, OIT created an empty Blackboard course shell for all Fall 2006 courses listed in the UMBC Schedule of Classes with assigned instructors. Courses that don’t have assigned instructors will be created as they are added to the Schedule of Classes by the Registrar’s office. Only officially registered students will be automatically enrolled in all Bb courses.
Note: Because some students (and faculty) have mistaken enrollment in a Bb course shell as official UMBC course registration, OIT has turned off the “self enrollment” function in all new Blackboard shells.
