Blackboard (WebCT) Course Request Form
Benedictine University and Springfield College


Please enter the information as indicated and click the Submit Form button at the bottom of the page. Submit one Request Form for each Blackboard course. For the purposes of this form, a Blackboard course is a collection of students. For example, if you are teaching multiple sections of a course and want students from all sections to be enrolled in the same Blackboard course, then submit one Request Form. If you prefer separate Blackboard courses for each section, then submit one form for each section.

If you have questions about this form, contact Eileen Clark, eclark@ben.edu, (630) 829-6576.

* Course Dates

    * Start date:      *End Date:


Student enrollments are typically done just a few days before classes start. This minimizes Adds and Drops, which are done manually by the instructor. If your course requires earlier student enrollments (because pre-assignments must be accessible, for example) enter the date by which students should be enrolled.

* How should this course be created?

Lisle, Naperville and Springfield Campuses
These options are appropriate for faculty teaching in programs from any campus.


Reuse an existing course.

Choose this option if you have a link to the course on your My Blackboard page, and you would like to use the existing content for the course you are requesting. The course will be reset, if necessary, at the end of the current term. That is, all student specific data, including names, grades, discussion postings, quizzes, homework submissions, etc. will be removed. Students will then be added for the upcoming term. The title will be adjusted to reflect the upcoming Section, if necessary.


Create a new course.

The first time you enter the new course you will be given the option of either creating a blank course, or creating the course as a copy of one of your existing courses.
Naperville Campus
This choice is appropriate for faculty teaching in the MED or SSM programs offered from the Naperville Campus.


Create the course as a copy of the Master for this course.

Some programs maintain a master copy of courses that are offered frequently and taught by many different instructors. Choose this option if you are requesting a copy of such a master.

 
Springfield Campus
These choices are appropriate for faculty teaching from the Springfield Campus.


Copy the SC-BU Template Course.


Copy the SC-BU SafeAssign Only Template Course.
