Enrollment Instructions - Students

Please read the following information carefully before attempting to log in.

If you registered early, you will be able to log into your Blackboard account the day the semester starts. If you registered after the semester had already started, you will not be able to log in for a few days. During the first two weeks of the semester, we create accounts once a day; after the first two weeks of the semester we create accounts once a week. Each student who registers for classes at CSI will automatically have a Blackboard account created. Students have to register for courses through the Records Office. Based on that information, Blackboard accounts are created.

Important:
Registering for a course through the Records Office DOES NOT automatically enroll you into the respective Blackboard course (they are separate systems). You will have to log into Blackboard and enroll yourself into your course.

Follow your instructor's instructions carefully. Read this document (Word, PDF format) if you have not used Blackboard before or you would like to learn more about it. A user manual for Blackboard is also available. Also, remember that your instructor can provide access to an online Blackboard student manual. If you do not see a link to it in your course, ask your instructor to enable it. Follow your instructor's instructions carefully. In general, to enroll into a Blackboard course, follow these steps:

  • Login to Blackboard (see instructions below) Click the Courses tab on the top left corner Find the department under which the course is offered (Course Catalog on the right hand side of your screen) and click it Find the course you are interested in (Note: some departments have many courses, so if you do not see your course on the first page, just scroll down to the bottom of the page and click number 2 (for page two) in the lower left hand corner or the page inside the gray bar to take you to the second page (or third if you need to).
  • Once you see the course, click the Enroll button to the right of the course.

If you are taking an online class, it is advisable to send an e-mail to your instructor who will contact you with instructions on how to get to your course.

Your instructor will provide course-specific information (how to get to your course, how to enroll into the course in Blackboard, access codes, etc.) If you have any questions that relate to a specific course, please contact your instructor.
