Changing Course Section Availability Dates

Each semester, following dates set in the Academic Calendar, student access to all Blackboard course sections will open on the first day of classes and close after the last day of grading. If you would like your students to access your course early, or have students that still need to complete course work in Blackboard beyond the end of the semester you can extend the time period that your course is open in Blackboard following the steps below.
