STEP 4: BLACKBOARD BASICS

ACCESSING and MASTERING BLACKBOARD

Some instructors require that you attend an on-campus orientation. Please check the Class Schedule for on-campus orientation dates. In addition, please find your instructor's web page listed in the directory for the class syllabus and more information about the class. Otherwise, you may use this online orientation to get started.

Once you are enrolled in an online class, an account will be generated for you to access Blackboard. In most cases, you may not access the course until the first day of school.
