 I've got courses showing I don't want.
 How can I get rid of them?

 

LMS Staff can remove the courses and unused sections that have been created by the Access.SMU system. To have these removed you must send a message through the help form to left or a message to the cms e-mail address.

  1. You must change the course name to DELETE.
  2. Send a message to LMS Operations requesting the courses be deleted.
  3. The message should include the Course ID. (example: THNK1301-3-1077)
  4. You will receive a confirmation upon completion.
  5. We will only remove a course if the course name has been changed to DELETE.

Any course that is deleted will take with it any grades or other student records associated with that course. If the course was used in the past we strongly suggest that you do a Archive of the course for your records.

You can choose hide them as well. You might want to do this with courses you may use in future.

First make the course Unavailable. Students will see the courses unless you make them Unavailable.

In the My Blackboard tab click the little circle pencil icon icon in the corner of the My Courses box. You will be able to hide the courses you no longer want to see.

You can also change the content and layout of your My Blackboard screen with the two control buttons in the top right of that screen.
