The Class Dashboard in My Missouri State allows instructors of record to request a Blackboard Learn course in advance to begin designing their instruction for upcoming semesters. The Class Dashboard allows you to request individual as well as combined Blackboard courses, and you can also use the Class Dashboard to request Master Courses.
Please Note: If the instructor of record does not request a Blackboard course from the Class Dashboard prior to the start of the semester, one will be automatically be generated with a default template created by Blackboard administrators. This process runs one week before classes begin, which is usually the Monday before the start of the semester. We recommend that instructors request their courses at least two weeks before the start of the semester so that they can choose their desired course template and request combined courses if needed.

How to Request Your Blackboard Courses
Please Note: If you plan to use a combined Blackboard course, do not request the individual sections as instructed below. See
How to Combine Courses in Blackboard for instructions.

- On the Class Dashboard page, select Blackboard from the Option menu.
- Select the term for the courses you want to create in Blackboard.
- Click Submit Search.
- The Blackboard Options page lists all of the courses you are assigned to for the selected term. Select the check box to the left of the course name for each class you want to have a Blackboard course for. Please do not "Select All" if you do not use Blackboard for all of your courses. Only select the courses you will actually use in Blackboard.
- Click Submit to Blackboard.
- Select a course template from the drop-down list. The template will apply to all courses selected and cannot be changed once submitted. If you need help deciding which template to use, see How to Choose a Blackboard Template.

Please Note: It typically takes at least 2-4 hours before the requested courses appear on Blackboard. However, this process can take up to 48 hours.
