However, the PASSWORD is often different for each system and account that you use. 3. Accessing Google accounts including Email 4. Blackboard user names and password are linked to those for any of our other systems at this time. However, new students are given the needed login info with their course registration letter. Note: You have the option of changing your password so that they are all the same. However, they will not automatically stay the same. E.G., If you change your Blackboard password, it will not change your Email / network / W ebAdvisor password. 3) Student: Why can’t I see my course in Blackboard? A) Your course may not be using Blackboard. Check with your instructor.
