 - Blackboard Login Instructions |
|
| NOTE: |
 |
The Online Orientation is presented in the Internet class format. The process for accessing the orientation is the same as the process for accessing Internet courses. |
 |
All students who register or add during the Drop-Add sessions should allow at least 24 hours before attempting to access the Online Orientation (for new Internet students at RCCC) or their Internet course (for returning Internet students). This time is required for processing of the course registration, creation of the student's account in Blackboard, and enrollment into the appropriate course or orientation. |
|
 |
 |
Step 1: |
|
|
| |
For Fall Semester 2006: |
| |
Students who are new to Internet courses at RCCC MUST complete the Orientation by Monday, January 8, 2007 in order to have their course access "turned on" (added to the Blackboard class rosters). Students who have completed Internet courses at RCCC previously are encouraged to review the Orientation content for important instructions and helpful information. This "refresher" information is found within the online Student Help Desk, which is available to all RCCC registered Internet students each semester, and referenced in each Internet course. |
| |
Internet courses follow the regular semester schedule. For Spring Semester 2007, classes begin on Tuesday, January 9, 2007 and end on Wednesday, May 9, 2007. Students are expected to access their course on the first day of the semester to receive instructions and begin their coursework. Courses are not self-paced. |
| |
All Internet students MUST access their course(s) by the end of the day on Friday, January 19, 2007 to remain in the course(s). Students who do not meet this deadline will be administratively withdrawn from their Internet course(s). |
| |
|
|
 |
Step 2: |
|
|
| |
 |
Access the RCCC Blackboard main web page at http://de2.rowancabarrus.edu/. |
| |
 |
Click on the button located on the left side of the Blackboard Login page. |
| |
|
|
| |
|
|
 |
Step 3: |
|
|
| |
 |
Below is an example of Blackboard's login page. |
| |
 |
When the login screen appears, you will need to enter your username and password (in lower case letters). |
| |
 |
Note: Blackboard Login Usernames are set up using student names as they appear on RCCC registration records. |
| |
 |
(Please see important information below regarding usernames and passwords.) |
| |
|
|
| |
 |
Blackboard Username and Password Information: |
| |
|
 |
Enter the first initial of your first name, the first initial of your last name, and last five digits of your Student ID Number as your username. (example: John Doe, 1234567 would be jd34567) |
 |
Note: Blackboard Login Usernames are set up using student names as they appear on RCCC registration records at the time the student registered for his/her Internet course. |
 |
Enter the password you used when you last took an Internet course at RCCC. If this is the first time you are taking an Internet course at RCCC, enter the generic password online4u, with no hyphens or spaces. |
 |
Can't remember your password?
If you do not remember the password you last used, on the Login page, please click on the "Forgot Your Password?" link located beside the login button (see the graphic in Step 3). |
 |
If you find that you are not able to login, and you are certain that you are entering the right username and password, contact your instructor. |
 |
Want to change your existing password?
Once you login, you may change your password by clicking on the Personal Information link, found within the Tools area of the Blackboard Welcome page (see the graphic in Step 4) or within your course (see the graphic in Step 5). |
