My course list is out of control!

There are several reasons why your "My Courses" list in Blackboard could get a little busy:
  • First, it is PhilaU policy to keep courses on the Blackboard server for three semesters. This allows us to give faculty a fair warning before courses are deleted and materials are no longer available. It also provides an opportunity to copy course materials from semester to semester and year to year.
  • You may also have an overloaded list because the instructor has not yet made a course that has ended unavailable to the enrollees.
  • Additionally, instructors can enroll most users on the system into any of the courses they teach.
The good news is you can control your view of your course list. If you want to get more organized in Blackboard, follow these steps:

  1. Log in to Blackboard.
  2. Click on the "My PhilaU" tab.
  3. Locate the "My Courses" box and click on the pencil icon.

4. In the "Display Course" column, deselect any of the courses you don't want to see.

5. Click "Submit."
