## Supporting Students

This process is either new or a change for students. You can support them as well on your Learn@Seneca Course by adding a course link to the RegisterBlast Portal for students to your course. If you are not sure how to do that head to this page:

- [Creating a course Link in Blackboard Ultra](https://employees.senecapolytechnic.ca/spaces/266/blackboard-ultra/articles/creating-content/16177/creating-a-course-link)
- You will want the course link to go to: [Accommodated Testing](https://students.senecapolytechnic.ca/spaces/122/accessible-learning-services-and-counselling-services/wiki/view/11059/accommodated-testing)

Consider reminding students who are using the Test Centre that they need to use the RegisterBlast system before the test as well.
