Your 2009 Summer courses are now available on Blackboard. If you are teaching a summer class that does not show up on your Blackboard account, please contact your department and make sure they have listed you as the instructor of record with Records and Registration.
The Records and Registration data feed controls all instructor assignments in Blackboard; Blackboard does not control instructor assignments. Your department must communicate instructor assignment information to Records and Registration.
Please let us know if you have any questions, and have a great day.
