why can't i access last semester's classes on blackboard

by Zackery Hauck IV 10 min read

If you can't see your courses in Blackboard App, then it's likely your classes are not available yet. The Blackboard app only shows courses that are Available and Active. If your course/semester hasn't started yet, or if your instructor has a course set as Unavailable, your course (s) won't show in the app.

However, if a course has an end date, and the end date passes, then students can't access the course any longer. So, if you complete a course and open it again after the end date, students can't access it.

What is the smarter proctoring tool?

Some instructors require students to take high-stakes online tests, such as midterms and finals, using an automated test proctoring tool called SmarterProctoring. An instructor may design a SmarterProctoring test session to include photo-ID verification, webcam/screen recording, and temporary browser lockdown features that prevent copying/pasting, printing, or accessing other applications during the test.

How long does it take to get a MATC account?

Once your college application is processed, it will take a minimum of 24 hours for your MATC network account to become available in Blackboard.

Is Blackboard private?

Courses are initially marked as Private in Blackboard until the instructor makes them available to students by the course's official start date as listed in INFOnline. If a course does not become available by its start date, contact your instructor directly.
