Blackboard Course Request for Faculty & Staff

Please Read!

Since summer '06, we have created areas for all courses on Blackboard automatically. Currently, all courses should be created with students enrolled. Please check Blackboard first if you are creating a new course from scratch as it may already be created. Also, nearly all instructors are enrolled into these courses as their instructor role. There are some gaps in this as new courses are added and as the final courses are assigned their instructors. If this applies to you, please use this form. If you are not showing your courses in Banner, please contact your chair so that you can be properly assigned. Please continue to use this form to lump students from many sections into a single course.

NOTE for Merged Courses: We are trying to automate the enrollments to hourly or multiple times per day. To do that, each course and student has to have a unique identifier that is created by Banner. That identifier is given by the system and then pulls the rolls from Banner. If merged courses are set up as they have in the past by hand, there will not be a unique identifier that the Banner system knows about, thus we can't populate the courses. It is something we are working on to try to complete as soon as possible. Thanks for your understanding.)

If you wish to know how to copy old course content into a new course that you are the Instructor for, use this link.

All new courses are created in the "Unavailable" state which means the students can't get to them. To make the course available, follow these instructions. If you are a new instructor planning on using Blackboard, please make sure that your department has filled out the new employee form for you. This gets you access to Blackboard, email, and other systems.

Please use this form to have your courses configured for this semester and future semesters on Blackboard. This form is set up to accept one course request at a time. You will be provided with a link back to this page after you submit each request. This is a form for faculty/staff to request Blackboard enabled courses and not for students to request to be added to a course. If you are a student needing to be added, please fill out this form.
* denotes a required field.

Longwood Email Address *

with our new authentication, you'll need to have a Longwood ID. If you do not, work with your department's administrative assistant to fill out an ID request from this site.

I have never taught a Blackboard enabled course.

We are setting up the ability for you to have multiple sections put into one Blackboard course. If interested, please denote those in the "additional" box. You can change your mind at any time and retain access to the individual sections.

If you want to remove courses from your Blackboard list, please click here. We try to retain courses for two years on the server.

Semester *

Enrollment is tied to a specific semester. Your course may start before or after the specified semester.

PLEASE CONFIRM YOUR SECTION NUMBER(S) with Banner or your Department! If your section is not in Blackboard already, add it in the "Additional" box below.

If you are requesting all separate courses, which are not lumped together, please use a different form for each request.

If you are the instructor for your course for more than a day, it is probably already set up. Please check in Blackboard before submitting this form*

The courses listed are intended to be separate and NOT intended to be lumped together.

This one Blackboard course will accommodate multiple sections that I teach (choose them below) (note that all of the grades for the sections will be run together in the Gradebook even though you can set up "Groups" so that you can have e-mail lists and discussion areas by section. If you want separate grades, you must request separate courses.) (I also read the note about merged courses in the box above)

If you are requesting multiple sections to be lumped together, type them into the "Additional" box below and when the service is available, we will configure them.

If you have more than four selections, add them in the "Additional" box below.

Days of the week course is offered (MWF, TH, etc)
Times that the course is offered (8-8:50AM)

ADDITIONAL:
Any additional information about this course, how to handle multiple sections, or questions can be entered here. If your course was not listed in Banner, please remember to include the section number. Please be as completely descriptive as possible with your preferences:
