Should I remove my students from my course once the semester is over?

No.

There are several reasons why you should not remove your students from your course once the semester is over.

1. Blackboard courses at UNF are not recycled. We request new courses each semester. Therefore, there is no reason to remove students from the courses.

2. After the semester ends, your Blackboard courses will be automatically set to unavailable so students will not have access to their old courses.

3. When students are removed from Blackboard courses, all of their data (including Discussion Board postings, assessments, grades, etc.) is also removed.
