Getting Started

Finding Your Courses

Note: Access to and participation in the Blackboard components to a course does NOT ensure official enrollment in a HSC course. Credit for coursework is only available if a student has followed and completed all university requirements for enrollment and has received verification of enrollment from the university registrar.

Courses in which you are enrolled should be listed by CourseID (course number, section, semester, name.) in the Courses You are Taking section of either the My Blackboard or Courses tab after you login successfully. To enter a course, click on the course title link.

Courses you are taking...

The following are some of the reasons a course or courses in which you are enrolled is not displaying in the Courses You are Taking section of the main Blackboard page:

  • You are officially enrolled in the course and fully enrolled through Blackboard, but the instructor has made the course unavailable . A course will only be listed in your Courses You are Taking section once the instructor has made this course available. To correct this problem, contact your instructor. Note: not all courses or instructors have a Blackboard site; please verify that a Bb course should be available with the department / instructor first.

  • You are officially enrolled in the course but enrolled late or were otherwise left off the official class roster when uploaded to Blackboard. To correct this problem, send an email to web-courses@ouhsc.edu with your full name, HSC username and the course(s) in which you are enrolled (enrollment will be verified with your instructors or Admissions & Records before being placed in Blackboard). Note: this process is NOT instantaneous and may take several days to correct.

  • You are not actually enrolled in the course or have not completed the official enrollment process. To correct this problem, contact your college or registrar.
