Blackboard Course Request

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

Please enter the information as indicated below and click the Submit Form button at the bottom of the page.

Submit one Request Form for each Blackboard Course Site you need. A Blackboard course site can serve one or more course sections. If you are teaching multiple sections of a course and want students from all sections to be enrolled in the same Blackboard Course Site, submit one Request Form. If you prefer separate Blackboard Course Sites for each section, submit a separate Request Form for each section.

* How should this course site be created?

Lisle, Naperville and Springfield Campuses These options are appropriate for faculty teaching in programs from any campus.
	Reuse an existing Course Site. Choose this option if you have a link to the course site 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 Site. The first time you enter the new Course Site you will be given the option of either creating a blank Site, or creating the course as a copy of one of your existing Sites.
Naperville and Springfield Campuses This choice is appropriate for faculty teaching in the MED program and for Moser College Undergraduate Business Cohort programs.
	Create the course site as a copy of the Master for this course. Some programs maintain a master copy of sites for 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 Site.
	Copy the SC-BU SafeAssign Only Template Course Site.
