Only epi can do that. I'd never believe it with other papers, but Im not surprised that epi did it haha

Me too. Epi was by far the worst organised paper of them all. Hated they way they kept hiding the blackboard forum during the semester! But meeting the tutors in person was a major help
 
I have never met such a disorganised bunch of teachers...and I went to a public school! That's saying something
 
Haha yeah, I swear they took the discussion board down right after the exam cos they knew they would get abused about how bad the test was lol
 
thanks greenglaciar.. damn epi was the one i was most curious about... lol the epi department has been disorganised with everything the whole year... trust them to make a last minute switch on policy again; i guess we shouldnt really be surprised.

Maybe they may make it all internal? :blink:
 
Can someone try logging into blackboard please? I get the error "Could not login. Valid authentication credentials were not provided." when I try, which is slightly concerning!
 
I tried logging in by deliberately typing my password wrong, and it came up with that message you got skyglow. Possibly someones hacked your account and changed the password? Unlikely hopefully
 
I can't log in either!!! You and me both Skyglow. ARGH!!
 
I'mOnABoat or Arutha if you see this...could you try logging in? Apparently I'm not enrolled in the paper or something, and I don't think anyone else from my class is either. The 2nd years are all enrolled in their paper correctly so you guys can log into blackboard. Feels weird not being able to log in lol.

[Edit]Oh wow what timing LOL. Yeah seems like all of 3rd year can't log in for a while :(
 
Hey skyglow, the exam papers website prevented me from accessing it for a while with the message "your account has expired".

I rang up IT a couple of weeks ago and they said that there had been some issues with accounts, and were able to fix my problem overnight.

Your problem seems of a similar nature, so if you still can't get in, maybe just ring the Otago hotline (0800 80 80 98)?


Oh, and I'm still far from being enrolled (my status is still "awaiting confirmation from the admissions committee"). I rang up yesterday and had a bit of a rant to them, and they say that this is all normal - they just take ages to do anything because it is all manual.

I just gave them a call, and it seems theres noone in my class is enrolled for the correct MICN paper yet, so we can't use blackboard for a bit. Thankfully not a problem with my account :D

It sounds like they also did something funny with the paper codes for blackboard. You guys are listed under MICN2008_2013...but that should be our paper. And the guy said there were 268 listed for that paper, but I think some of those must be staff or tutors.

My enrolement status says its confirmed. How?
Click to expand...

Have you handed in your course approval forms already?

In PIMS my "Status in 2010" says "Not Course Approved".

And PIMS correctly shows that I'm in MICN201..but in Blackboard it still says on the right hand side
Courses in which you are enrolled:
  • BIOC192_S2DNS_2009: Foundations of Biochemistry
  • HUBS192_S2DNS_2009: Human Body Systems 2

:huh: Is that happening to anyone else?
