Guest access setting for your Blackboard course
Your Blackboard course can be opened up so any students, staff, or external guest may view certain areas of your course. If you opt to use it, be sure you understand what this role means and how users can access your course. Please see the Blackboard guide for setting up Guest access.
Logging in as a guest
NHS and external medicine staff
In order to access restricted services provided by the Medicine web site, you will need to register with us. Registration is open to any individual who is an employee of or contracted to, an NHS Trust or external organisation involved in teaching our students; this includes General Practitioners.
- Please see Logging in: NHS staff and visitors
Visitors
Access to computing facilities is not normally allowed to anyone other than current members of the University (holders of a valid University ID card and identity number). However certain exceptions are made for some honorary staff or external researchers working within the University and an application for a visitor account must be made to Human Resources by relevant Faculty or Professional Service on behalf of the person who needs the access.
For further information, including links to the Visitor Access forms, see the HR Visitors page on the University website.
Conference accounts
Please use this form to apply for short term access for conference and event delegates to University IT facilities and resources. Note that this form is for conference and event use only and HR must be contacted for access to IT resources for visitors.
New arrivals: Staff, visitors and student
New staff members should await their contract information and instructions to activate their computing account via Subscribe Self-Service.
New students should follow guidance from their Student Office. They will be invited to enrol and activate their computing account via Subscribe Self-Service.
Once a new member to the University has subscribed to their computing account, Blackboard access will be activated overnight.
Suspended, returning and auditing students
Students who are “suspended with services” will be able to log into Blackboard, but will not have access to the Blackboard courses for the current academic year. Suspension with services refers to the fact that the student can access their email account and limited other resources while suspending their studies.
Where possible, access to Blackboard courses should be granted via module enrolments in Banner.
Please speak to the Student Office if you are concerned about a student accessing a course.
