Blackboard Ultra: Send Reminders to Students

This article outlines how to send submission reminders from the Gradebook to students or groups who have not yet submitted coursework in Blackboard Ultra.

How To Send Reminders to Students in the Gradebook

In Blackboard Ultra, you can send reminders to students or groups who haven’t submitted an assignment yet. The item must be visible to students and have no release conditions.

1. Click on Gradebook in the menu bar.
2. From the Gradable Items view, click on the options icon (...) for the item, and then select Send Reminder.
   • Blackboard will automatically detect students who haven’t submitted the item yet. A confirmation pop-up will show how many students will receive the reminder.
3. From the Grades view, select a gradable item's icon at the top of the grid to open its menu. Then select Send Reminder. 

Notes:

• You can only send reminders for assignments, tests, or graded items.
• Reminders also can’t be sent for manually created columns. If messages are turned off for the course, reminders are sent as email.
• Reminders are sent to the student or group as a blind carbon copy (BCC) course message. Instructors receive a copy of the message too.
