Convert a Blackboard Course to Ultra (for Instructor)

**If you do not see the pencil icon, and your course is unavailable, you'll probably need to ask for the course to be edited to give you the choice to convert it.  Please email the Help Desk with your course information and request.


1. Click on the pencil icon in the top right corner of the course.  (Again, this will not work if the course is available.  The padlock must be red.)


2.  Click on Try the Ultra Course View button.  The course is close after you click this button, as it converts.  Wait for an email to say the conversion is completed, and then proceed to step 3.


3.  Go back into the course and review the course.  If you want to make it Ultra, confirm by clicking on Use the Ultra course (Please Note:  This is a permanent change.  It cannot be undone once converted to an Ultra course, so be sure!)


4.  Confirm one more time by clicking on Use the Ultra Course in the pop-up window.
