Blackboard Access
To utilize the e-learning platform Blackboard Learn, you will use a unique username & password.
This username & password is not the same as your portal/email account.
Blackboard username:
Your Blackboard username is the last 8 digits of your Photo ID number. While this number can be referenced on the physical Photo ID card, you can also look up the Photo ID number by using the Photo ID Lookup tool.
Blackboard password:
For most students, the password is the last four digits of their Social Security Number (SSN). If the SSN is not on file (or doesn’t work), the password is the last 4 digits of the student’s Colleague ID.
Acquire Photo ID Number:
To lookup your Photo ID Number, you will need to know your Social Security Number (if on file) or Colleague ID.
Acquire Colleague ID:
If you prefer to use your Colleague ID to look up your Photo ID number, but are unsure what your Colleague ID number is, you can locate it in the Portal.
Colleague ID Lookup
Colleague ID look up:
- Locate the Student Self-Service card
- Click the User Profile link
- Under the User Profile tab, the Colleague ID is listed below your name in the About You section.
Locate Your Profile in the Portal
Photo ID Lookup
Using the SSN or Colleague ID, the Photo ID Lookup tool will return your Photo ID Number. The last 8 digits of your Photo ID Number will act as your Blackboard username.
