 of last name and last four digits of your Social Security# or CoM Student ID.

 Ex.- steve dodson = STDO5682

·       Type in your Temporary Password: student

·       (If you already have a Blackboard/WebCT account at CoM, you may have already
 changed your temporary password; so, your temporary password will not work if
 you have already logged into another WebCT course. Your password will be the
 same for each Blackboard/WebCT course at CoM.)

NOTE: If the Browser Check Results pop-up window appears, the browser you are using may not be validated for use with WebCT or there may be issues with the configuration of your browser. For more information, go to the Browser Tune-up page (http://www.webct.com/tuneup).

When the My Blackboard screen first appears, your browser may require that you accept the Java security certificate. If you click any links or buttons in My Blackboard before the security certificate window is finished loading or before acceptance has been established, your WebCT session will end in error and you may have to manually end and restart your browser application.

4.     If this is the first time you are logging in, you may see a Required Password Change screen open.  You will need to put your current password in the first blank and your new password in the next two blanks.
