Blackboard course renumbering in fall
As a result of a proposal that was submitted and approved by the Faculty Senate to renumber course offerings at Missouri S&T, the registrar and academic departments are converting courses to a new four-digit numbering system for the fall semester. Blackboard courses for fall 2014 are currently not available for development by instructors while IT, EdTech and the registrar’s office work together to prepare the campus for the transition. While the official “cut-over” date is Aug. 1, the campus is actively working to get Blackboard courses with the new numbers available by the end of April for instructors to use for fall course development.
