Enrollment Managers for Courses and Organization Managers for Communities can manually enroll someone in a non-academic Blackboard course or community.
How to Add User(s) to a Course or Community
- Log in to Blackboard using your BearPass login credentials.
- Go to Courses and select the course you need to update.
- In the Control Panel below the Course Menu, select Users and Groups.
- You will see two options: Groups and Users. Select Users.
- From here, a new page will open. Click Find Users to Enroll.
- To search for a user to enroll, you can enter a username or select Browse to search for a user by first/last name or email address.
If you choose to add multiple users at once, you must separate each user with a comma.
- Next, select their Role. The roles for a Community will look different than the roles for a Course. The images below show the options for a Course (top) and a Community (bottom). Check to ensure you have entered all information correctly before moving on.
Please Note: Each Course role has a corresponding Community role.

How to Remove User(s) From a Course or Community
- If you find that you need to remove a user from a course, you must click the checkbox next to their name and select Remove Users from Course. This cannot be undone.
- You will be asked to confirm this action. Click OK to delete the user from the course or community. Once this has been done, a message will notify you that the user was successfully removed.
Please Note: Users can only be deleted from a Course or Community if their role is Student or Participant. Users that fall under other roles will need to be demoted to Student or Participant before deletion. If you try to delete a user with a higher role, you will receive an error message (shown below).
