Self-enroll in the Blackboard
site for any classes that may be using Blackboard
[How to enroll in a course]
- Enrolling through the University for a course does not automatically
enroll you in the Blackboard site for that course. You
must do both of the following:
- Register for a course
through the University's my.sjsu.edu site AND
- Self-enroll for the Blackboard site for that class
(if there is one — not all instructors use Blackboard for their classes).
- Check the course web page (syllabus or "greensheet" as it is labeled at SJSU) to see if Blackboard will be used in the class. If so, look for the date when the Blackboard course site will become available.
- Check your messages in MySJSU for the access code for enrollment in the course site.
