Blackboard Ultra (Faculty) - Merge Course Shells: Separating Merged Course Shells
This article provides instructions for faculty on how to request the separation of merged course shells in Blackboard Ultra. This process is necessary when course relationships change, and courses need to be managed individually.
Requesting Separation of Merged Course Shells
To separate merged course shells in Blackboard Ultra, a request must be submitted to the ITS Help Desk. This process is not something faculty can do independently.
- Prior to requesting courses be un-merged, export your content to be later imported into the separate course shells.
- When submitting your request, please include the following information:
- The course IDs of all courses currently merged together. Example: CRN-SUBJ-COURSE-SECTION-TERM (e.g., 10000-ENG-111-100-202410). List each course ID on a new line. Separating only affects enrollments; no content will come over from the merged course.
- Requests to separate merged courses should be submitted to the ITS Help Desk using one of the following methods:
- Email: Send an email to help@siue.edu with the subject line "Blackboard Ultra Course Separation Request".
- Phone: Call the ITS Help Desk at (618) 650-5500.
- Once courses have been separated, import your content to each individual shell.
