Impact: Instructors
Instructors may have students in their courses whose access to Blackboard is temporarily restricted. For example, if a student has a payment pending, an administrator can set the student’s user account as unavailable until the hold is lifted.
In direct response to user feedback, we’ve made changes to how unavailable students appear in the gradebook. Now unavailable students appear in the gradebook for their enrolled courses, but their avatar has a strikethrough to indicate the unavailable status.

To completely hide unavailable students from their gradebooks, instructors can use the Students Visibility setting introduced in the last release.
When the hide unenrolled students from the gradebook option is turned on, unavailable and unenrolled students are hidden from these gradebook areas:
- Grades page
- Students page
- Calculation student list
- Gradable items student list
- Submission tab for an assessment
- Group Submissions tab for an assessment
- Student Activity tab for an assessment
For administrators: This feature is available for all Ultra courses. There are no configurations needed.
