Note: Faculty accounts are created when an instructor is listed in Campus Connection for a course. If the faculty is not teaching for a current or future semester, the Blackboard account will be created during a monthly population process but can be requested by the head of the department or the administrative assistant for the department after the faculty member is hired if access is needed right away.
If you are unsure if you have an account, you can try logging into Blackboard using your NDUS.Identifier and password (the same ones you use to log in to your UND computer or to PeopleSoft).
UND policy requires that user accounts be removed on a regular basis after resignation or termination from UND. Contact TTaDA or submit a ticket with any questions on reactivating Blackboard accounts.
