Why Can’t View My Courses in Blackboard

Schedule adjustments can take up to 24 hoursto process from OneACCS Online Services to Blackboard.

You may be trying to log on to Bb Courses before and/or after Term Date.
Check Calendar.

You may no longer be an active student.

Courses that were previously accessible in Blackboard:

1.  Dropped For Non-Payment.

You can check your account in OneACCS Online Services to check your registration status.

You must contact a Cashier’s office, call (205) 856-7779 or email [email protected] before you can be added back to your course.

Making a payment online without contacting the Cashier’s office will not get you put back into your courses.

Once you have been added back to a course, it will take up to an hour before the course will appear in Blackboard.

         2.  Dropped for not completing the participation requirement due by the Instructor.

Did you receive an email telling you which class you have been dropped? If yes, then follow the link in the email and follow the steps for re-verification.

Once you have submitted the re-verification information from step one, your instructor will also receive an email with a similar link that lets them verify your enrollment in the class.

Once your instructor verifies you, you will receive a second email that you have been verified by the Instructor.

Once this is done, the information is sent to the Business Office for you to be reinstated in the class upon tuition payment.

If you have questions or want to check in on the status of your re-verification and/or funding call 205-856-8507 or 205-856-7779.
