Most official courses offered by Baylor College of Medicine will have a Course Shell created from a template for that term in the Blackboard System. Each Course Shell is created and assigned a course ID according to the terms in the Blackboard Use above and follows the operations calendar below:
Fall Courses |
Created 120 days before the Fall Terms 1 & 2 |
Created on April 1 unless specified |
Spring Courses |
Created 120 days before Spring Terms 3, 4 & 5 |
Created on Sept 1 unless specified |
Summer Courses |
Created 60 days before Summers Term |
Created on April 1 unless specified |
Note: Some course shells for cross-listed courses (courses that are listed under two or more schools) are created by the school/system Blackboard Admin following the request of the program director or course director from the primary school listed in CAMS.
Blackboard courses are created as unavailable to the enrolled students. The instructor must make a Blackboard course available before the students can access materials in the course. For information on making a course available view Course Availability.
