If you don’t see your class(es) in Blackboard, check Banner Web to make sure the course is listed on your schedule. If the course is not showing in Banner Web, check your Financial Aid award status inside Banner Web. If aid hasn’t been awarded, the course may have been dropped. The course may also have been dropped for non-payment or non-attendance. If you are still unsure why your course does not show up in Banner Web, please contact Academic Affairs at 770-228-7361.
Any schedule changes within the add/drop period may take up to a week for Blackboard to reflect your current schedule.
“Email” responses go to your student email (Microsoft Outlook) and do not come through Blackboard. Only “Course Messages” are sent and received inside Blackboard.
Some courses require students to use access codes to Publisher content inside Blackboard. If your purchased code does not work, contact your instructor and the SCTC Bookstore. Also, be sure to enter your student email, and not your personal email, when setting up accounts with access codes.
For Chromebook and Mac products, use Chrome or Firefox web browsers.
