Removing Students From Your Course In Blackboard

It is best to not remove students from your course area in Blackboard. When you remove a student, all information on that student's access and all submitted work, including discussion board postings, is removed as well.

Continue to check your class roster and compare this to your student enrollment in Blackboard. If students are dropped due to nonpayment, withdraw on their own, or if you administratively drop...you need to make the course unavailable to the individual students. They will no longer have access to the course, but if their enrollment status changes or if the student(s) file a complaint...all of the student's (students') statistical information and work is still there.

To Change Individual Student Course Access (Availability)

1. Go to your course in Blackboard
2. Go into the "Control Panel"
3. Click on "List/Modify Users"
4. Click on the "List All" tab
5. Click on "List All" button
6. Click on the "Properties" button to the right of the student's name
7. Scroll down to part 4 of the "Modify User Properties" window
8. Under "Available"...change this to "no" to make the course unavailable to that student; change this to "yes" if you wish to give access back to that student
9. Click "Submit" (Bottom Right)
