Course Access

Why is one of my modules not in listed in my Blackboard Courses tab in myUWE or my Welcome tab in Blackboard?

Check which modules you are attached to in the myUWE Marks tab. If the module you are missing is not listed, you will need to make the appropriate School Student & Programme Support (SPS) aware so that they can attach your student record to the module:

If the module is listed in the Academic Record subtab, select the 'View Details' button next to the module in question. If it has a status of 'EE' this means that your enrolment has not been completed. Access to a module in Blackboard will be disabled if your enrolment to it has not been completed 35 working days after the start of term. Please contact the appropriate School Student & Programme Support (SPS) so that they can advise you what is outstanding and update your student record:

During the resit period
During the resit period (from the first run field board date through to the resit run field board date), please be aware of the following:

If you are a referred student:

  • Your access to the first run course will continue.
  • Any automatically generated assignments for the resit will be in the ‘Resit Materials’ content area and will be prefixed with the word ‘RESIT’.
  • Any assignment submissions for the resit will be displayed on the Blackboard Coursework tab and can be identified by the prefix ‘RESIT’.

If you passed the first run and are not resitting:

  • You will still be able to see and access the course from your Previous Courses tab but with limited/guest access.
  • You will still be able to see and access your marks and feedback for Blackboard assignment submissions on the Blackboard Coursework tab. However, during the resit period, you will not be able to access MyGrades to view marks and feedback for other assessment types such as tests, wikis etc. Marks for summative assessments will still be visible in the myUWE Modules & Marks tab.
  • After the resit run field board date, full access to the Blackboard course will be reinstated.

Why are some of my courses 'Unavailable' in Blackboard?

Students will only have access to Blackboard courses that have been made available by instructors - on the Current Modules list in Blackobard, there will be icon showing whether the course is available or unavailable to students. For advice about whether or not your instructor will be using Blackboard for a course, please contact them directly.
