Customising "My Courses"
As your list of courses grows you may wish to reduce the list of your courses in the My Courses box, so that only currently relevant courses are shown. This can be done easily by following this step by step guide. This method applies to all users of Blackboard including students and instructors.
Note: doing this does not remove the course from Blackboard, it simply hides it from your list of courses in the My Courses box.

1. Having logged into Blackboard you will be taken to the My University of Southampton screen. If you do not see it click on the My University of Southampton tab at the top of the screen.
2. Look at the My Courses box, note the two icons at the top right of the box.
