Blackboard typically is not available to students until the first day of class each semester. If you are a student who is new to Blackboard, please do the following before attempting to log in: 1 Find your CPTC e-mail address (Office 365). It should be in your acceptance letter. Student Affairs and library staff can look it up for you. Bring your photo I.D. 2 Know your CPTC e-mail password . You have ONE PASSWORD for Blackboard, e-mail, BannerWeb, and for campus computer log-in. Any self-service resets or password changes can be done through your Office 365 e-mail account. Student Affairs and library staff also can help with resets. 3 Check your computer and browser to make sure they are supported by Blackboard (see below). 4 Use the right browser - Google Chrome, Firefox or Safari. NEVER use Internet Explorer or Microsoft Edge. 5 Clear your browser history/data. Do this once a week while using Blackboard. 6 Make sure pop-ups are enabled (see below) in your browser. Blackboard may not work properly if your browser is blocking pop-ups. 7 Make sure to log out of Blackboard manually each time. Single sign on in Blackboard might not work properly if you close the browser window or app without logging out first.
