Blackboard end-of-semester procedures:<\/strong><\/p>\n Student Access It is a process that takes some time, so if you want to have all students in your course disabled at exactly the same time, you can make your course \u201cUnavailable\u201d at the date and time that you determine. (For example, if you want students to lose access Friday at midnight or even Thursday.) However,\u00a0if you choose to make your course \u201cUnavailable\u201d earlier than Saturday, it would be helpful to post that information or email your students, so they are not confused by different access policies between multiple courses.<\/p>\n Incompletes Blackboard Updates<\/strong><\/p>\n Blackboard will be conducting updates and fixes on Tuesday, May 16 beginning at 2 a.m. ET.<\/strong> Parts of the system will have errors while the upgrade is in progress, so it will require downtime to keep users from seeing errors.<\/p>\n The following known issues are resolved:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n<\/strong>All Spring 2017 students given a grade of I (Incomplete) will be able to access the Spring 2017 courses again in Blackboard after grades are posted by the Registrar. Students who have an I (Incomplete) will remain enrolled in their Spring 2017 Blackboard course until either the grade converts or 30 days into the Fall 2017 semester. If faculty have assigned any student a grade of I (Incomplete), they must make their Spring 2017 course set to be \u201cAvailable\u201d in the Course Settings area in the Control Panel or the student will not be able to access the course.<\/p>\n
