FALL 2005 Classes have been assigned (to the best of our ability).
NOTE: ALL FORMS BELOW WILL RETURN AN *** ERROR *** MESSAGE WHEN YOU SUBMIT
THEM. HOWEVER, WE WILL STILL RECEIVE THE INFORMATION!

NOTE: BLACKBOARD WILL UNDERGO A MAJOR UPGRADE THE WEEK OF AUGUST 8.
PLEASE BACK UP YOUR CLASSES USING THE EXPORT OPTION.
In the worst case scenario, a complete loss of BB data and the inability to
restore the database (which we certainly do NOT expect), those who have
exported their classes will be able to upload those classes as soon as the
new system is online. Backup your work or risk losing it!
Instructions for exporting:
http://utconline.utc.edu/archive.html
Exporting is for restoring a class or re-using it in another semester/year.
Archiving is for keeping a permanent record of the class as it was the day
you archived it.
We suggest you export your class and save it to your hard drive after ANY
major changes as well as at the beginning of the semester, at midterm and
archiving it after finals/grades.

## Your Courses ##

needed to address them.

# Why are there no Students in my Classes?
Students will *not* be enrolled until one week before the beginning of the
Fall 2005 semester. If you wish to offer students access to the class before
the semester starts, you will need to enroll them using the Control Panel.
# Why is my class unavailable? or My students cannot get into the class!
Courses are created in UTCOnline as UNAVAILABLE. This means that only the
instructor(s) can see the class. This gives you the opportunity to build the
class before your students begin using it. In order to make the class
AVAILABLE, you must do so in the Control Panel:
> CONTROL PANEL > SETTINGS > COURSE AVAILABILITY
From your course's Control Panel screen, find the link for "Settings" (under
Course Options)
Click the "Settings" link
On the next page (Settings, find the link for "Course Availability" and
click it.
Change "Make Course Available:" to "Yes"
Click Submit.
The course is now AVAILABLE.
Please do not make your course available until you are ready for students to
see the class.
