The Spring 2013 semester is almost over! What happens to your Blackboard courses? What should you do to properly wrap up your courses? Read below for more information on the iTeam’s recommendations for archiving current courses and requesting future courses.
- In or around mid-June, students will no longer see your Spring 2013 Blackboard courses as long as Availability is set to Term Availability. To double-check this setting, go to Control Panel > Customization > Properties > Availability.
- After the semester ends, your students’ names and their grades will still appear in your course, but we encourage you to back up this data. If you used the Grade Center, download it by following the instructions here:

- In addition, you may want to Archive your course. Course Archives (.zip files) contain all content, grades, and student and faculty interactions. Directions for archiving and your course are here:

Activate your Summer or Fall courses
Please visit
http://ole.sandiego.edu
and click on Faculty: New Course Request on the right-hand side of that page. Your course will be put in the activation queue and you will be notified within 3 business days. Once the new course shell is created, you can then copy the content from earlier courses by following the directions here:
