FAQ
Who do I call for Blackboard support?
You may call the Campus Technology Help Desk at 843-661-1111 or email helpdesk@fmarion.edu for support. The Help Desk hours are Monday Thru Friday 8:00 am to 5:00 pm.
What credentials do I use to log in to Blackboard?
Blackboard uses the same username as your other accounts. The password for Blackboard is specific to only Blackboard. To establish or change the Blackboard password, follow the instructions above under “Trouble Connecting to Blackboard.”
My students cannot see me course. Why?
A course is not visible to students either because:
- They are not properly registered for the course. This is either due to a problem in Registration or with not meeting financial obligations. Both must be complete before a course enrollment is passed to Blackboard
- The course is not set to Available. To make the course available, see: Course Availability
How do I copy content from a previous course into a new one?
See Course Copy
How do I get my course on Blackboard?
All Blackboard courses are automatically generated as sections are created and released by Registration. The Colleague system passes both the course sections and the course enrollments to Blackboard. If a new section is created, or if course enrollments are changed (e.g. drop/add), the changes are typically reflected in Blackboard with an hour.
*Instructors should never manually create a course or manually add, delete or change student enrollments.
