BLACKBOARD
Using the New Blackboard Enterprise System 1. In order to use your Blackboard course site, you will need to activate your Brooklyn College email account. The university’s authentication system requires that your CUNY portal account password (see Step #2) be sent to your college email address. Thus, to retrieve your CUNY portal password, you will need to access your BC email account. Note also that system updates and schedules for downtimes will be sent to your BC email account by default. To activate your Brooklyn College email account, please go to: https://infocenter.brooklyn.cuny.edu/webmail/ Follow instructions as given on this site. 2. Go to http://portal.cuny.edu/ and click on “Log-in” located at the bottom left on the navigational bar. 3. On the following screen, click on “Register now.” 4. On the following screen, select “Student.” 5. You will be asked to provide your Social Security Number and your date of birth. Note that this is a secure server (see the lock on the bottom of the screen). The authentication server knows you by the combination of these two elements. 6. You will receive an email at your Brooklyn College email account containing a 9-digit password. PLEASE WRITE DOWN THIS NUMBER AND KEEP IT HANDY. You will need it each time that you log in to the CUNY portal. DO NOT DELETE THE EMAIL. Should you lose your password, you may request another one by clicking on “Portal Help.” Your new password will be sent to your BC email account. 7. Once you login, you will see a link for Blackboard. Click on that link, and the courses in which you are registered will appear. Click on the course link for your course pages.
