Getting Started Using Blackboard

Student Instructions

Information Technology


Once a student is entered into the Blackboard database, any Capital web course in which they are enrolled can be accessed using their assigned Blackboard UserName & Password. Students NEW to Blackboard need to follow the instructions below to (1) check & possibly change their E-mail address, and (2) change their assigned Blackboard password.
  1. Display the Blackboard Welcome page at http://blackboard.capital.edu.
    (You can access Blackboard from the IT web page or use the above address directly).
  2. Click the [LOGIN] button.
  3. Login using your Blackboard User Name & Password you were assigned.
  4. Click the [LOGIN] button. The MY INSTITUTION page should display with information pertaining to your Blackboard account.
  5. Click the [STUDENT TOOLS] button in the Navigation Area of Blackboard (left side frame) and then select the CHANGE YOUR INFORMATION icon.
  6. Check your E-mail address to insure that it's correct. If you more frequently use an account other than your Capital E-mail account, change the text box to that E-mail address.
  7. Scroll down & click the [UPDATE USER INFORMATION] button.
    (Do NOT put anything in the PERSONAL INFORMATION area).
  8. Click the word BACK from the Blackboard window.
  9. Select the CHANGE YOUR INFORMATION icon again. Scroll down and type in a new password and then enter it again for verification. The password should be something easy to remember. (You can use your Capital E-mail password).
  10. Click the [UPDATE PASSWORD] button.
  11. To access the Blackboard manual, click the [STUDENT TOOLS] button and select the STUDENT MANUAL icon. The manual has all the information you probably need to become familiar with the Blackboard system. You can even download it as a file to read off-line or to print for reference.
  12. Explore & enjoy!! Click some buttons and get a good look around. Be sure to click the [LOGOUT] button when you are ready to exit Blackboard.
