Enrollment Instructions

How to sign up for the GSI Professional Standards & Ethics course

* Please print out these instructions and read them carefully before beginning the enrollment process.

 

Go to: http://coursesites.blackboard.com. Create an account by clicking the ‘create' button found on the home page.

Fill in your name as registered with the University, your Student ID number, and your UC Berkeley email address.


Important:
On the Blackboard CourseSites account creation page, only First Name and Last Name are marked with asterisks as required fields in the Personal Information section. In order for us to approve your enrollment request and verify your quiz grades, you must also include your UC Berkeley email address and UC Berkeley Student ID number when creating your Blackboard CourseSites account.


Choose a username and password that you will remember easily.

 

Once you have completed the CourseSites account, you can then log in. After you are logged in, request enrollment for the online ethics course by following these directions:

 

Click on the Courses tab at the top right of the screen.

Next, find the course. There are two ways to do this:

 

  • In the Course Search box, type in ‘ethics'. Look at the list and find the course with ID number gsi300s_og.
  • Or, click Browse Course Catalog, found at the bottom of the list on the right. On the next page, from the dropdown box, choose Course ID, type in gsi300s_og, and click on "go."
    (see below).

Click the Enroll button on the right to send a request for enrollment.

After you submit your request to enroll, you may see the following message:

Access Denied
Access to this resource is prohibited.


This does not indicate a problem with your registration request. Instead, the Blackboard program has automatically taken you to the online ethics course, and you are not allowed to log in until we have approved your request (on weekdays, normally within a few hours, if not sooner; longer on weekends). When your request has been processed, you will be able to access all the course material.

After you receive authentication, you will be ready to begin the course. It is best to allow enough time to finish one complete module in a single sitting. One module should take about 45 minutes. There are five modules.

If you are a first-time GSI this semester, you must successfully complete the course by the end of the third week of classes. Because information in the course will be useful to you on the first day of class, we strongly recommend that you take the course before classes begin.

If you have any questions or problems, please contact us:
