Have You Decided Not to Use That ePack After All?

If you create your course based on an epack that requires students to enter an access code and you decide to cease using the epack …read on!

If you start with a course based on an epack and strip out all course content that came with an epack (which you must legally do to no longer require students to purchase the access code), the new course will still require the access code. Even if you copy the course to a new course shell after deleting the epack content, the new course shell will still require students to use an access code.

The access code “trigger” is buried in the course shell and cannot be removed by you or the campus Blackboard server admin (that is, we do not have the tools or scripts required to do so, even if we could legally do so).

If you want to cease using an epack that requires an access code, you must start with a fresh course shell and build all content in that course shell.
