To access Blackboard you need a username and password. First time users will find username and password information in Piperline. Visit the Piperline Secure Area and login using your Hamline ID Number (or Social Security Number) and PIN. Click on Personal Information, then click on View Hamline Computer Accounts, and finally, click on Blackboard.
NOTE: If you have problems accessing Piperline or need help using Piperline, contact the Student Administrative Services Office by phone at (651) 523-3000 or by e-mail at sasmail@hamline.edu. You may also stop in to the Law/Graduate School Building, Room 113E. (You will be asked for your Hamline ID Number or Social Security Number.)
You can access Blackboard using a Web browser (like Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator), at http://hamline.blackboard.com. Click on the button, and the Blackboard Login page will be displayed (see Figure 1).

Enter your username and password and click on the button.
NOTE: If you are using AOL, MSN, or any other service that uses its own browser to connect to the Internet, you can still access Blackboard by using Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator. Connect to the Internet as usual. Once connected, minimize the connection window by clicking on the underline button in the upper right corner of the screen. Double click on the Internet Explorer (or Netscape Navigator) icon on your Windows Desktop. You can then access Blackboard.
