For faculty choosing to use Blackboard with their academic courses, a new Blackboard course must be requested each semester. To request a Blackboard course, please follow these few steps.
Go to http://blackboard.richmond.edu and look to the right of the log-in screen. You will see a link to “Faculty Blackboard New Course Request”. Click on that link.
On the next screen, log into Blackboard with your NetID and Password. You will see a slight change on the page which is indicated by the circled area in the image below.
On the next screen, you will notice your name at the top followed by options to request academic, non-academic or removal of courses.
Follow the prompts to request an academic course. It normally will take 6-12 hours for the system to create and populate your new Blackboard courses.
If you need further assistance, we are having Blackboard training on Aug. 11 at 10:30 and August 23 at 1:30. You can sign-up for these workshops at http://cygnet.richmond.edu/events/fall2011workshops.
