Student Login

Open your browser and go to: https://bb.cod.edu

You’ll see the Blackboard login screen. Enter your ID and password in the provided fields.

Your Blackboard ID is the same as your myACCESS ID.  For example, if your name is John Smith, your myACCESS username would be your last name, first initial and (usually) a number, such as smithj2.  

If you need help obtaining your myACCESS information:

• Go to the Student Portal Login screen
• Select the link, Retrieve/Forgot Username
  
• Follow the instructions on the screen. You may also contact Student Help Desk for assistance, 630-942-2999.

Your Blackboard Password is the same as your Student Portal password.  You set this password yourself. 

If you need help with your password:

• Go to the Student Portal Login screen
• Select Set/Forgot Password. 
• Follow the instructions on the screen

Troubleshooting

I can log in to Blackboard, but I can't open a course. The word "Unavailable" is next to the course title.

• Your instructor has not made the course "Available" in Blackboard. It is up to the instructor to set courses to "Available." After the term begins, contact your instructor to see how Blackboard will be used.

I can log in to Blackboard, but I can't see my course listed in My Courses.

• Are you sure you are enrolled in the course? Verify your enrollment status through myACCESS in the Student Portal. If you have verified your enrollment status and still cannot see the course, please contact the Student Help Desk.
  
  
• Did you enroll in the course today? You will see the course in myACCESS immediately, but it usually takes 24 hours for the course to appear in Blackboard.
