bCourses account hierarchy
Course and project sites are organized in a hierarchical structure within bCourses. There is a main, top-level account, and sub-accounts for each school, college, or department that contain their respective course sites.
Departmental-level admins allow local IT and instructional support staff to manage and configure courses within their domain. These roles present opportunities to customize the course environments and provide enriched support to users within a department.
