Why do I see Access Granted materials instead of my Course Home Page?
Problem
When an instructor or student enters a Blackboard course they see the Access Granted e-book interface and are unable to navigate away to other course content.
Solution
This is happening because your entry page, or Course Home Page, is empty. When it is empty, Blackboard automatically defaults to opening the next available menu item. The solution is to open the pop-up menu, and add a placeholder Item to your Course Home Page.
1. In your Blackboard course, click the symbol at the top left corner of the open course. |  |
2. A popup window will appear showing the course menu. Click on Course Home Page. This will open the Blackboard course in its normal view. To ensure that it opens to this view, you should add content. |  |
If you want to add course content later, you can add a placeholder item. 3. On the Course Home Page, create an item by clicking Build Content > Item. | |
4. Type in a name and/or description for the new item and click Submit. |
Do not delete this placeholder item until there are additional materials on your Course Home Page.
