Sometimes, instructors do not have access to bCourses before the start of their class because their teaching appointment has not yet started. This is common for Summer Session instructors, whose appointment dates are the same as the class start date. They do not have CalNet access until this time, so they cannot log into bCourses.
If you would like to work on your course and you do not yet have a CalNet Account, we recommend that someone from your department sponsor you for a CalNet Guest Account, and to add that Guest Account to your course site.
