Getting Started in Blackboard 5.5

Blackboard is the software program used for most online courses at Clackamas Community College. It's easy to use and provides a convenient "one stop" center for all your online classes. To get started, just follow the steps below:

Step 1: Go to Blackboard

In your web browser, go to http://bb2.clackamas.edu (or click on the Blackboard icon to the right). This will take you to the login page for Blackboard.

If you already have a Blackboard account:

• click on the “Login” button

• provide your username and password

• go to Step 3

If you do not have a Blackboard account:

• click on the “Create Account” button

• go to Step 2

Step 2: Create your Blackboard account

• Fill in the information requested (note: you must provide an accurate email address when you create your Blackboard account!)

• create a username and password for yourself (and write them down somewhere so you won't forget!)

• click on the “Submit” button at the bottom of the page

• Click “OK” on the next screen

Step 3: Find your course

• Click on the green “Courses” tab near the top of the screen

• On the right side of the screen under “Course Catalog,” click on the appropriate category for your course (usually it will be the current term, followed by subcategories representing subject areas)

------- OR ------- 

• Search for your course by title or number in the “Course Search” box on the left of the screen

Step 4: Enroll in class

• After you've browsed the categories or conducted a search, a list of courses will appear. Locate the name of your course in this list, then

• Click on the gray “Enroll” button to the right of the course’s name

• Click on the “Submit” button at the bottom of the next page. This will send an enrollment request to your instructor by email.

Please note: Blackboard will give you a message telling you that your login request has FAILED. This is not accurate, however, and you should not be concerned; your enrollment request is proceeding as you intended. 

Step 5: Wait for confirmation of enrollment

• You will receive an email message confirming that your instructor has enrolled you in the course and containing a direct link to your course

• Once you receive this email, log in to Blackboard again (http://bb2.clackamas.edu) and you will now see a link to your course under “Courses in which you are participating”

If you do not receive an email within a few days (giving your instructor time to respond to your email request), check back in Blackboard to see if you’ve been enrolled.
