All Fall 2004 courses have been loaded into the Blackboard system.  If you
have been associated with a course for the fall semester in BOSS, that
course will now be listed after you log in to Blackboard.  Student rosters
have also been loaded.

To request course recycles or combinations (joining together several
sections to allow faculty to post in one course site rather than several)
please use the on-line form at
http://www.baruch.cuny.edu/bctc/blackboard/faculty/recycling.html .

If your courses are not listed on Blackboard, it is very likely that you
are not the official instructor on the BOSS system yet.  Currently, about
300 courses have not yet been assigned an instructor in BOSS.  Please check
with your department chair to confirm that your teaching assignment has
been submitted to the Registrar's Office.  The Blackboard system will not
assign the course to you until an entry exists on BOSS.

All courses are created as "Unavailable".  This means that the instructor
can see the course, but students cannot.  Information on how to make the
course available to enrolled students may be found at
http://faculty.baruch.cuny.edu/teaching/availability.htm .

Training workshops are posted at
http://www.baruch.cuny.edu/bctc/training/faculty_training.html and new
workshops will be added next week.  In addition, departmental chairs or
groups of faculty may request group instruction by contacting me directly.

For general questions about the system, please contact the BCTC Help Desk
at (646) 312-1010.
