Accessing your BlackBoard account
Computing services has a great online guide on how to use BlackBoard. The link is http://www.usm.maine.edu/computing/resources/blackboard/bb5_guide.jsp But here are some quick tips:
Your UserName is the same as your University e-mail name (the part of your e-mail address before the "@"). (For example: if your e-mail address is John.Jones@maine.edu, your e-mail name is John.Jones).
If you don't have a University e-mail account, one will be set up for you within 24 hours after you register for a course that uses Blackboard and automatically entered into Blackboard. New e-mail accounts/UserNames are set up with this convention: Firstname.Lastname, eliminating any hyphens, apostrophes, and periods in your last name. Having trouble accessing BlackBoard? Call 1-800-696-4357 (HELP) or techsupport@maine.edu USM Computing Services provides useful technical information and instruction at http://www.usm.maine.edu/computing/
