End-of-Semester Tasks

UNT will no longer offer courses in Blackboard after the Fall 2018 semester. Starting Spring 2019, all courses using a learning management system will be offered in Canvas. 

For Faculty’s student records retention purposes (See section 7.1 & 7.2 of the UNT System Consolidated CORE Records Retention Schedule), all student data must be exported from Blackboard prior to 3/1/2019.

Please contact the CLEAR Faculty Helpdesk at (940) 369-7394 or at clearhelp@unt.edu with any questions.
