Administrative Course Request

Please complete the form below to request an administrative Blackboard course shell.  If applicable, a list of users and their individual roles (Instructor for co-administrators or Student for general users) for the administrative course should be sent as a .csv (Excel) file to bbhelp@siue.edu. The user requesting the course will automatically be assigned the role of Instructor in Blackboard.  This form must be completed by a faculty or staff member.

There are two* types of administrative Blackboard course shells:
DEV - developmental course for faculty to develop an academic course in a sandbox or test environment and, at a later date, export it to a traditional Blackboard shell. This type of shell can also be used for course backup.
TEMPLATE - template course for faculty to develop a core shell that will be copied into several other academic courses to ensure all courses are uniform in content and design (ex: a SOC 111 shell that is copied into all sections of SOC 111).

Use the fields below to describe the purpose for the course being requested and specify which type of prefix best describes this course.

*The CONT (Continuous) course type has been discontinued and replaced by the Bb Organization.
