To help you stay organized, Blackboard offers a calendar. This allows you to see due dates and will even remind you when things are due (for any item your instructor has set a due date for).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you click Calendar on the Blackboard site, you are accessing the <strong>Global Calendar<\/strong>. It displays<strong> ALL<\/strong> of your calendars and events in one place. You have a personal calendar, an institution calendar, and a course calendar (for any active course you are enrolled in).\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Personal Calendar<\/strong>:\u00a0You can add personal events by clicking the\u00a0<em>Add Event<\/em>\u00a0icon. No one else will see your calendar.\u00a0Personal events can only be viewed and managed when accessing the Calendar from the base navigation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Institution\u00a0Calendar<\/strong>: Administrators can create institution events.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Course\u00a0Calendars<\/strong>: Instructors create course calendars that list course-specific events such as office hours and a course schedule. Any item with a due date set in the system will appear on your course calendar.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Course calendars can also be viewed from within a course. When the calendar is accessed from the course, only course-specific events will display. Other course calendars, your calendar, and the institution calendar are visible and modifiable from the global calendar only.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Student Technology Services does not provide direct, student-facing training on using Blackboard Ultra.
