Make Your Course Active (Available to Students)

Students will not be able to see your course until you make it “active.” You can do so by following the instructions below or viewing the one-minute video at the bottom of this page.

Important Notes

  • After you switch a course to active, you may see a delay of up to 5 minutes before it appears as active on your Brightspace homepage.
  • Courses also have start dates and end dates that are assigned by CUNY. These dates do not affect course visibility.

Make your course active

  1. Navigate from the course navbar to Course Admin (under Tools in default BMCC navbar):
