Staff guide: Allow anyone with a University of Southampton computing account and Blackboard access to join your course as a student.
Self- enrolment can be an option for Custom Courses. For the majority of Blackboard courses, students will be enrolled automatically. See our guide on the different ways users are enrolled in Blackboard courses.
When self-enrolment is enabled, you can share a URL link to the course and anyone following the link will be invited to self-enrol as a student. You can optionally add an Access Code (password).
You can continue to add users manually to a course with Self-enrolment enabled.
