4) Once a network account has been created, The Blackboard account will be created within 3 days. 

- Once the data feed recognizes a new faculty/staff/adjunct employee and creates their account, they are given a practice test course. They may start creating course content in that practice test course and copy/move it to an actual course once it is assigned.
