Acceptance of D grades in coursework: As of January, 2020, a new college administrative Rule states that D grades are no longer applied toward graduation. In extenuating circumstances, a Department Chair, with written approval of the Dean, may accept the D grade as satisfying a graduation requirement upon appeal to the graduation office.

Strategies to get material from one course into another in BB
There are three strategies you can use: course copy, item copy, or enrolling students.
1. Course copy allows you to copy all or part of a current course into another course. Video
2. Item copy allows you to deploy content (though not assignments) into another Blackboard course. Video
3. You can enroll students from another section into one Blackboard course site, if you prefer. (At this point in the semester, I would recommend using one of the other two strategies if you have grades in the grade center.) Video
