Blackboard

Blackboard ULTRA is the platform Pierpont uses to house course information for each course. In-person, online, and hybrid classes will all use Blackboard, so it is important that you know the basics before classes start. Your classes will not show up in Blackboard until the first day of classes so this is a great way to explore the platform - penalty free!

Check out the Blackboard Learn App!

Students can download the Blackboard Learn app on their smartphones to keep up with homework and deadlines on the go!

The app contains the same features and functions listed in the first Blackboard video. Watch the video below for an App Tour.

But The Den offers more than that - earn Pride Points, track community service hours, and level up your skills across diverse areas.

Office 365

This is your access to Microsoft Office online products (Word, Excel, and other Microsoft programs) including your Pierpont Outlook email.

You can save your files on OneDrive, which is the Microsoft cloud service. It lets you store your files, share them with others, and access them through all your devices (e.g., computer, tablet, phone).

NOTE: When you graduate or leave Pierpont, your access to Office 365 will end. So, you should download important documents that you want to keep prior to your leaving.
