Making Your Blackboard Course
Available to Students
(or Having Your Course Show Up in
the Blackboard Catalog)
You may have noticed that there is an online catalog component of Blackboard, which lists all the currently available classes in Blackboard. If you do not see your classes listed in this catalog, this is because your class has not yet been made available. Making your classes available will also enable students to access them online.
It is important to complete this process before telling your students to use the Blackboard course page.
1. Log onto Blackboard at http://bb.elmhurst.edu.
2. Under Courses you are teaching,click the link of the desired course.

4. In the Course Options area, click Settings.
5. Click Course Availability.
6. Click the radio button labeled "Yes" to make a course available.
7. Click the "Submit" button.
8. You should then receive a Success receipt.
9. Click the "OK" button.
