When students register for your course, BU automatically adds them to your Blackboard Learn course site. However, you can also manually add additional users to your course through the Control Panel. To manually enroll a user:

1. Log in to learn.bu.edu using your BU login name and Kerberos password.
2. Locate and select your course in the list.
3. In the navigation menu to the left, look under the Control Panel and expand the Users and Groups menu.
   
4. Select Users.
5. Hover over Enroll User and click Find Users to Enroll.
   
6. Enter the BU username in the Username box and move to step 8 below (do not include @bu.edu when adding by Username).
   If you would like to add more than one user at the same time, enter all of these BU login names in the Username text box, separated by commas.  It is recommended that you do not click ‘Browse’ as there is a known issue where the user is entered into the box twice and will not successfully enroll
   
7. Select an appropriate role from the drop-down menu.
8. Select Yes for the Enrollment Availability.
9. Click the Submit button.
10. To verify the new user’s enrollment status or their role:
    1. Go back to the Users page.
    2. Search for the new user by username, email address, or first/ last name.

    

When students drop your course, their Blackboard accounts will be made Unavailable in your course. Unavailable users cannot access your course or view it in their My Courses list. These users can be removed at your discretion. Deleting a user removes all data associated with their account, including Grades, Assignments, Discussion Posts, as well as any other work they may have completed in your Blackboard course. This action cannot be undone, so take care when removing a user from your Blackboard site. To remove a user from a Blackboard course:

1. Log in to learn.bu.edu using your BU login name and Kerberos password.
2. Locate and select your course in the list.
3. In the navigation menu to the left, expand the Users and Groups menu under Control Panel.
   
4. Select Users.
5. Select the checkbox(es) next to the user(s) you would like to remove from your course.
   
6. Click Remove Users from Course, located at the top or bottom of the user list.
