Access the Calendar

Calendars are displayed in the Navigation Menu when first logging into Blackboard. The calendar is displaying calendars entries from all courses that you are enrolled in, including past courses that are not available to students.

To access the Calendar from the Navigation Menu, click on Calendar. Alternately from within a course, from the Control Panel, click on Course Tools >>> Course Calendar.

 

Accessing the Calendar through either route will display all of the calendar entries from every course and organization you are enrolled in.
