Online Courses and Blackboard

You've registered for your Online Course, now what?

1. Contact your instructor. Email your instructor to let them know you've enrolled. You can find your instructors' email address from the online list or by checking the course schedule.
2. Within one business day after you register for your course a Blackboard account should be created for you. The exception is VCT students who will not have an account until a few days before classes begin.
3. Determine your Blackboard user ID and password to login to Blackboard.
4. Once you've logged in to Blackboard you should have access to the Blackboard Orientation course. Use this course to become familiar with Blackboard.
5. The online courses in which you are enrolled will become available to you by 8:00 a.m. of the first class day.
6. If you can not login using the suggested login method try retrieving your password. Your password will most likely be sent to your Midland College email account. If you still can not login please complete the Blackboard Help Request.
