Carroll's Blackboard

Blackboard (Bb) is the online course management system that connects faculty and students in all credit courses and selected continuing education courses at Carroll.  Students are able to view the course syllabus, read announcements from the instructor, view assignments, submit coursework online, participate in an online discussion with others in the course, and check course grades.

All students taking credit courses are automatically provided with Bb usernames/passwords and are given access to the Bb course site for each of their registered courses.  (Course sites are not viewable to the student until the actual beginning of a semester; one week prior for distance learning courses.)

  • Student Bb username : first name, last name, and last four (4) digits of your College ID Number. (In most cases this will be the same as your WebAdvisor username.)  No caps, no spaces, no punctuation.  If you have a long name you will be limited to 24 characters in your username.  Type in your username, but stop with the 24th character.
  • Student Bb  password:  full seven (7) digit College ID Number.  The College/Student ID can be found on your acceptance letter, semester schedule, ID card (example below), grade reports from previous semesters, or any official correspondence from the college.   The sample College ID card below has the College ID number circled.

  • For example:  joestudent4567 is your username, and 1234567 is your default password.

 

Once logged in for the first time, students should change their passwords by clicking on "personal information" in the Tools area of your My Carroll (Welcome) page.  Students are encouraged to explore the Student Blackboard Orientation Course in their My Courses listing.

Students are enrolled automatically into the correct Bb course sites (and also removed automatically, if a course is officially dropped).  This is done through integration between our student records software, Datatel/WebAdvisor, and Blackboard.
