Students are granted access to a course when they are first added to that course. You can deny access to students and grant those students access again at a later time. When students are denied access, they will see the link to that course in the Course List channel of their My Courses portal. However, if they click the link, they receive a message, notifying them that their access has been denied.

Although the student will no longer be able to access the course, his/her data (grades, assignments, discussion postings, etc.) will be maintained in the course. You can either deny one single student access, or you can deny groups of students access at one time.

1. From your Blackboard/WebCT section, under the Teach Tab,  click on the Grade Book.
    
2. The far left column of the grade book is a interactive box next to the Last Name field. For the student(s) you wish to manage, click in the box for the student(s). A check should appear in the box.
   
   
3. When you have selected all the students you want to deny acess, click the Deny Access button at the bottom of the screen.
