HelPful Tip
Each instructor uses Blackboard differently.
For example, some put quizzes in a Quiz section. Others put them into the Content section.
Some put assignments in their syllabus. Others put them in the Blackboard Activities section.
As soon as your class begins and you have access to the class in Blackboard, look at the class in Blackboard and find where each of your instructors puts things for their class.
Make a note of that, so when you are in a hurry and memory fails you can find what you need.
If you need some help with organizing all of this, contact Support Services for Learning Strategies and Connect with a Coach.
To access Blackboard, your student email, etc. you need to have your Student ID-username.
