Blackboard New Users FAQ
How can I get a course shell created for my class on the Blackboard System?
Go to the Racernet website at http://campus.murraystate.edu & click on the Faculty FYI tab at the top of the page. Under Online Learning Resources, click on the Blackboard E-study Support Tools. Fill out the appropriate form to create your course.
Where do I go to change my password?
Once inside your course, click on the Student Tools button at the bottom, left of the page. Then select the link for Personal Information on the right side. Click on Change Password to create a new password for your login.
How can I tell if one of my students has unknown@murraystate.edu listed for their e-mail account?
From inside the Control Panel, select List/Modify Users from the User Management section. Choose List All to display all enrolled students along with their e-mail addresses.
Where does a student need to go to change their e-mail address?
Inside the Student Tools area, they should click on the link to Personal Information. Then they should go into Edit Your Personal Information. This area shows the current address selected and allows the user to type in a different address and submit it.
How can I add students to my course?
Students are automatically enrolled into Blackboard courses during the week prior to the first day of classes. If you do not wish for students to be enrolled in your course, you must notify the Blackboard Administrator at e.study@murraystate.edu. Students will continue to be added automatically for several days as they are properly enrolled with the Admissions/Registrars Office.
If a student drops my class will they be automatically removed?
No. The Blackboard system does not remove students from courses. The instructor can manually remove a student from a course through the Control Panel by clicking on Remove Users in the User Management area. Please be advised this process is not reversible! A student’s data cannot be retrieved after they have been removed.
