New to Blackboard

Staff
Please go to the Quick Start Guide for Staff and follow our step-by-step guide on how to set up your first course in Blackboard.

Course Set-up Reminder
Every year, lecturers need to request a new web site for all their courses, whether they have been offered in Blackboard previously, or not. If a course is taught more than once a year, it needs to be requested for each of the trimesters separately. For instructions on how to do this refer to Requesting your Blackboard course in the Quick Start Guide for Staff.

Scheduled Outage Notices
Information about scheduled Blackboard maintenance and upgrade outages is published on Blackboard and on MyVictoria.

Students
