Course Copy & Course Merge in Blackboard

Teaching Innovation and Learning Technologies offers course copies through RequestCAT but, if you choose, you can complete your own course copies. Please note that you will need to be an “Instructor” in the courses you wish to copy from and copy to. 

Note: If you are merging two or more course sections, please submit the merge request FIRST, wait until it’s finished, then submit a course copy request.

Original Course Copy 

Ultra Course Copy  
 

The copied material will take several minutes to populate in the new course shell. Do NOT repeat the copy process. You will receive a notification that the copy is completed. However, if you performed the course copy twice and now have everything doubled in your course, contact Blackboard Support and we will bulk delete your course content first, then you can perform course copy again.
