Self-enroll in the Blackboard
site for any classes 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) 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.

| N |
|
Consider joining a student organization: ALASC, or SAASC. All students are automatically members of LISSTEN. |
