Recommendation: 

Change your password

It is highly recommended that users change their password once a semester or at anytime they feel it is necessary.  Failure to regularly change your password leaves the potential for security violations and breach of personal information.

To change your Blackboard password follow this Step-by-Step Guide

If you do not remember your  password, you can  reset it  anytime by contacting Software Support Services during normal business hours at 651-523-2782 or the Help Desk at 651-523-2220.

If you have any questions or concerns please contact us by email
