We prefer requests be submitted via email or through our Help page if the issue is not urgent. Issues that require immediate response or problems with a classroom can be reported to us by phone.
Our Help Page is used to submit tickets which will be held in Queue until resolved. This is the preferred method since it does not go to a single person which helps the response time to your request. Please include as much information as you can about the issue. If you can, tell us what happened at the moment of the problem, events leading up to the issue, and if it has occured before. This can help in narrowing down the cause.
Training
The Distance Learning Center provides a lot of different training workshops. They usually have a couple blackboard training courses at the beginning of the semester. Contact them if a course isn't available. They may be waiting for more entrants before starting a class.

Course creation
All College of Law Blackboard courses are managed in house. Please contact the Help Desk if you need a course created. All courses created with a Law prefix will not be approved by Main Campus Support. We send out an email approximately one month before the start of the semester asking about special requests for the upcoming class. By default a basic blank course will be created for each class every semester.
