Upon initial entry into Blackboard, you may be required to check the results of your browser compatibility as illustrated to the left. 

Be sure you scroll down to each of the red Xs and correct the problem incurred as directed. 

Most of these will involve the Java which should be updated to correctly use this version of Blackboard.

Another chronic problem is that of pop-up blockers. Blackboard makes use of pop-ups so this must be left on.

If you are using the AOL browser, you may wish to consider using the Microsoft Internet browser in it's stead as it is much more stable with Blackboard.

 

 

 

        

 
Type in the following information in like manner as shown above:

Students Please Note:  Spring semester NEW students only.  Your user id will be as follows:

  • First letter first name, first three letters of the last name, two digit birth year, two digit birth day.
    • Example:  Birthday = January 5, 1969 
    • Name = John Smith
    • Username will be jsmi6905

If you previously had a Blackboard account, your username will remain unchanged and will follow instructions below:

User name: Your user name is comprised of two variables -
    1) first
three letters of your last name
             concatenated with (added to) the

    2) last
four digits of your student ID.

Example: If your name is Wallace State and your student ID is 234-56-7890, then your Blackboard ID should be Sta7890. The Blackboard ID is case sensitive and typically begins with a capital letter. If you have problems, please consult with your instructor for further direction.

NOTE: In rare cases, you may have to add an additional 01 or 02 to your UserID if a similar ID already exists (ie - Sta789002.

Please note also that there have been instances where the first three letters of the last name were all lower case. On other occassions, with a name like McSwain you may even have two of the letters (i.e. - McS) capitalized.  If you having difficulty logging in, try these different approaches. We have found that most problems logging in originate from typing in the wrong user name.

Also, for some women who were students before marrying, their previous last name may be used instead of their current last name.

Password: Your password is your Wallace student identification number (234567890) without any dashes.  

Click the OK button when ready

 

 

 

   
  Step 6 - Mandatory password change (one-time only)  
   
 
Password change     

To protect your student ID, a new password is required as a replacement.

The Current password is your student ID. 

The New password is a word you make up, must be at least 6 characters and may include a mix of alphabet and numbers.  Confirm the new password by typing in the new selection once again.

The Secret question is asked when you forget your password.  It may be anything that you would know the answer to but someone else wouldn't.

The Secret answer is the correct response to the Secret question above. This will be the answer you provide should you forget your password.

Upon clicking the  button, you will be logged out and required to log back in using your new password.  Students are not allowed to exchange access to one anothers accounts!
