Current Known Issues:

Blackboard Technical Services is working to resolve these issues as soon as possible.

  1. Email notifications for announcements are not being sent to students as expected. If the instructor would like to email their students about an announcement, they can manually send an email to students using the Send Email link in the Communication page of your course.

  2. Various additional announcement issues, including: announcements not appearing in the expected locations, announcements disappearing, and announcements not listing in the correct order.

  3. When a user is enrolled in more than 25 courses (includes past semester courses) as a student or instructor, and attempts to ‘hide’ courses from view, the courses still appear in their course list.

The Blackboard Course / Enrollment Update:

This process is daily during the first four weeks of each semester. After four weeks, the process is run twice weekly.

Step One: Registrar enters data into PeopleSoft:

  • Semester Courses
  • Instructor of Record Assignments
  • Student Enrollment

Step Two: Each morning, the registrar PeopleSoft data is sent to UCC to update the Centralized Account Management System (CAMS)

Step Three: Each day, when the CAMS update is complete, the up-to-date registrar data is loaded into Blackboard.

PeopleSoft is not directly connected to Blackboard. There is a 24 hour timeframe between changes to Registrar data and when those changes are placed into Blackboard. If an Instructor of Record assignment is made today, the instructor will be placed into that Blackboard course tomorrow. If a student enrolls in a course today, the student will be placed into the corresponding Blackboard course tomorrow.

This entire process is automated and there is not a way to manually circumvent it without introducing errors into the process.
