To gain access to Blackboard, it is necessary for a student to possess a Blackboard user name and Blackboard password.  A student’s individual user name and password are automatically assigned as follows:

Blackboard User Name =  The first letter of the student’s first name plus the first three letters of the student’s last name (all lowercase letters) plus four digits from the student’s birth date (last two digits of the year of birthplus the two-digit day of birth).  Please note that name changes made in the Office of Student Services do not affect the original User Name.
