The process for creation and loading of Blackboard Vista sections has changed!

As of Spring 2006, course instructors will be able to use an online interface, the Blackboard Vista Section Management Utility (SMU), to select and configure their Vista sections. Based on these requests, the sections will be created and students enrolled. Please refer to our SMU documentation, especially if this is the first time you are using this tool.

    • You will access the SMU using your TAMU NetID and password
    • You should be the instructor of record for the course(s) in order to be able to use the SMU to create Vista sections. If you do not see your course(s) when you logon, please contact your departmental SIMS person so that you are added to the screen 130 or 13A of SIMS for the course(s).
    • Once you submit your requests through the SMU, it will take about 24 hours for your sections to be created and students to be loaded.
    • If you are requesting section loads for cross-listed courses, please contact ITS at 979-862-3977 or its@tamu.edu.

    If you are ready, please follow the link to request the creation and student load of your Vista sections.
