Important: please read these instructions carefully before attempting to create a Blackboard account!
- To create the account, go to the following address: http://blackboard.csi.edu.
- Important: creating a Blackboard account and enrolling into the course in Blackboard is NOT the same as registering for the course at the Records Office. Not every course utilizes Blackboard, so you might not need an account. You should always register for the course, contact the instructor for instructions, then you can create a Blackboard account and enroll into the Blackboard course.
- We delete student accounts once a year (at the end of the spring semester).
- Instructions for creating Blackboard accounts:
- Click the Create Account button.
- Carefully fill out the information. The items with red stars (*) next to them are required items. The fields without the red stars are not required, so you can choose to fill out as many of these fields as you are comfortable with.
- For your e-mail address, you can use your CSI e-mail address. All students who register for classes at CSI automatically get a CSI e-mail address. The general format of your e-mail address will be: username@students.csi.edu. Please make sure that you type in your e-mail address correctly - otherwise you will not get the instructor's messages.
- You will use the same username and password in Blackboard as your CSI network login.
- Your username is your initials (first middle last) and the last four digits of your SSN (no spaces, commas or dashes). For example: if a student's name is: Jane Mary Doe and her SSN is 555-11-0000, her username would be: jmd0000. If you do not have a middle name or did not use your middle name when you registered, you will have an x for your middle initial. For example: if a student's name is John Doe and his SSN is 555-11-0000, his username would be: jxd0000.
- Your password for your CSI e-mail is your full SSN (no spaces, commas, or dashes). You can later change your password. Always use passwords that you can remember but others cannot easily guess.
- Click the Submit button at the bottom of the page.
- Blackboard will tell you that your account was created successfully. Click OK.
- Blackboard will take you straight into your account.
- In order to enroll into a course, follow these steps:
- Click the Courses tab on the top of your Blackboard screen.
- Under the Course Catalog list on the right-hand side of the screen, click the course in which you must enroll, click the Enroll button to the right of the course title, click Submit, click OK.
- You are enrolled in the class!
- Please remind your students that they need to log out when they are done. The Logout button is on the top right corner of the screen.
- Next time you need to go back to the course, go to the Blackboard page by clicking the Blackboard logo on the main CSI web site, or by going straight to the following address: http://blackboard.csi.edu.
