1. Go into Blackboard under the Courses area to see your course list.
To filter your courses by term, click on the "Terms" drop-down menu located at the top-middle of the Courses page, as seen in the screenshot below:
2. When you click on the "Terms" drop-down menu, you will see a list of groupings of courses, including:
- All Terms - This shows all courses to which you are assigned.
- Upcoming Courses - Courses you are assigned to which have not yet opened (future semesters).
- Current Courses - Your assigned courses that are currently open.
- Training - If you are enrolled in any training courses, this option may also appear.
- Sandbox - Ultra - This is where your "sandbox" course is kept.
- Term Courses - These courses are assigned to specific terms, or semesters, and are named based on each semester, such as 202512 for Fall 2024, 202514 for Spring 2025, 202516 for Summer 2025, 202612 for Fall 2025, and so on...
Click on the term you would like to view from the drop-down menu, and your list of courses will show courses from only that term.
The screenshot below shows the courses list when "202514" is selected:
3. To go back to the full list of all of your courses, click the "X" next to the term name at the top-left of the course list, as seen in the screenshot below:
This will clear the filter and take you back to a list of all enrolled courses.
This is the most common reason for why you may not be able to see your courses - you may have a specific term filter, and have not yet cleared the filter.
For example, many instructors will select "Upcoming Courses" to work on preparing their courses for the term that is about to start.
Then, they may not be able to find their courses once the semester begins...
That is because the courses are no longer "Upcoming Courses"... they are now "Current Courses" and to find them you will need to change or clear the filter!
If you ever have issues finding your courses, make sure to clear any filters you have set on your Courses page, and make sure to select "All Terms" from the drop-down menu for Terms.
