All online courses will be made available in Blackboard on the first day of the academic term. If you haven’t made your course site available in Blackboard on the first day of the academic term, the instructional support staff will make the course site available for you. For more information, please review this guide on managing your course availability. Online instructors can choose to release course modules on Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday.
During the fall and spring terms, all online instructors are required to include the designated term breaks (Thanksgiving break in the fall and spring break in the spring) in their online course schedule. Instructors should not release any new modules or make assignments due during these breaks.
Please visit the academic calendar for all other important dates including start and end dates for the current term, holiday dates, and upcoming graduation dates.
