Making your Course Available | Blackboard Ultra | Seneca Polytechnic

By default, courses are not available or visible to students, allowing you to create and organize content before a student can access it. Before the semester starts, you need to open your course to allow students to access course materials. 

There are two ways to open a course: from inside the course itself, or from the Courses page. 

Making the Course Available from Inside

1. Select Course Settings from the top of the Content page. The Course Settings page is displayed.
   
2. Select the toggle button next to Course content will be unavailable to students. The course is now available to students.
   

Note: At the top of the Course Action section it will now read Open to enrolled students. This is also visible next to the Course Settings button on the Content Page. If the option is turned on it will say Unavailable to enrolled students. 

Making the Course Available from the Global Page

1. Select Courses from the Global navigation. 
2. Locate the course you want to open. Note: A lock icon indicates that a course is set to private, meaning students cannot access the materials.
3. Select the ellipses next to the course name for more actions.
4. Select Course Settings. The Course Settings page is displayed.
5. Select the toggle button next to Course content will be unavailable to students. The course is now available to students.

Note: At the top of the Course Action section it will now read Open to enrolled students. This is also visible next to the Course Settings button on the Content Page. If the option is turned on it will say Unavailable to enrolled students.
