Blackboard Course not showing in Current Courses
Modified on: Mon, Apr 14 2025 3:06 PMCourses no longer showing under Current Course list
One of the reasons courses disappear under "Current Courses" list is that the course have a date range in the course availability options. This means after the "End Date" of the course, the course/s will no longer show under "Current Courses" list.
You can still see the courses in your list by changing the course filter (top middle in Courses section) from the "Current Courses".
- Click the "Current Courses" dropdown list.
- Choose the term you wish to go to.
In this example, under the "Current Course", there are only 2 courses showing.
Even if Spring 2022 term has ended, the courses are still showing under "Current Courses" list as they are set as "Continuous" in course availability options.
Click the desired term, in this example - we chose Spring 2022, then you will find all the courses assigned to you.
As you can see, there are additional two courses showing. This means that the course availability option duration for these courses have what we call an "End Date". Once the specified "End Date" passed, the courses will no longer be listed in "Current Courses".
As an instructor of the course, you can still make changes based on your role.
Things to remember:
- Courses that are not showing under "Current Courses" list have a specific set of date range in course availability options.
- If you wish to have the courses shown under your "Current Courses" list, make sure to have the duration of the course set as "Continuous".
- Course availability options are set by instructors of the course.
Please check this One Stop article on How to make your Blackboard course available (how to change the course availability options).
Course "Hidden from me" filter
Another reason why the course is not showing under your courses list is your course has been hidden from you. The easiest way to check this is to change the filter from "All Courses" to "Hidden from me".
The list will then show you the hidden courses. In order to bring them back to your default view,
1. Hover your mouse to the course you wish to select, then click the ellipsis button (...)
2. Click "Show course" button
3. Once done, the page will reload. If not, manually refresh the page and the course should no longer show under "Hidden from me" filter.
4. Go back to "All Courses" filter to see the course.
