1. Students' enrollment information will be typically loaded to Blackboard two weeks before the semester starts.
2. Students who drop or withdraw from a course will be removed from your Blackboard courses automatically. Your Blackboard course rosters will now reflect your official Banner rosters. The process runs every three hours 24/7; however, changes in your Bb roster will not appear unless the change was officially made in Banner. 
3. If a student drops a course or is dropped, and is reinstated or re-registers, student work that had been completed will be restored.
4. Instructors can still add students who are not officially enrolled in your course and faculty who are not officially assigned to the course in Banner. To be added, the user must have an existing Blackboard account.
5. Instructors will no longer be able to delete students from courses.
6. You must contact OLT if you need an instructor removed from your course.
