How to access Blackboard Learn?

Institutions have some control over what you see on the login page. However, everyone needs the same three pieces of information to gain access: 1 The web address of your institution's Blackboard Learn site 2 Your username 3 Your password

Why is Blackboard Learn important?

Because Blackboard Learn often shares data with other systems on campus, such as the registrar's office, it may be necessary to ensure that your information is the same everywhere. In this case, your institution will have a different way to change your information. Contact your institution to learn more.

What happens if you change your password on Blackboard?

When you change your password, all other sessions end to protect your security. If your account is logged in on another browser, the session is terminated and you need to log in again.
