If you are enrolled in the course through CAESAR, then you are most likely enrolled in the Blackboard site. We suggest notifying the instructor that you cannot see the site, and asking if he/she has made the course available.

If your instructor has confirmed that the course site has been made available:

• Auditing student:
  Contact your instructor to give you access privileges to his/her course site
  
• Student enrolled in a course less than 24 hours:
  You should gain access automatically to a class' course site 24 hours after you have enrolled in the course
  
• Student enrolled in a course more than 24 hours:
  Sometimes a student may become course disabled if he/she drops a course and then re-enrolls, or drops a course to change a discussion section, etc. When Blackboard compare rosters with CAESAR, the system believes the student is no longer enrolled and disables the netid from the course.
  
  Alternatively, the course site could still be unavailable. Contact your instructor about changing the course availability. Once it is available, allow up to one business day to gain access.
  
  If you continue to have problems or suspect that your netid has been course disabled, contact Course Management Support at 847-491-4044 or email: course-management@northwestern.edu.

Courses from the previous quarter are kept available through the first week of the new quarter, unless the instructor for the course makes it unavailable beforehand. By the second week of classes, only the courses for the current term should appear on your Blackboard home page.
