Blackboard

What is Blackboard?

Blackboard is a web-based course management system that supports student and instructor communication by allowing the posting and sharing of documents, external links to web resources, and class discussion boards along with other helpful communication tools.

Assistance

If you need account information or assistance logging in please call the Help Desk at 714-997-6600. If your class does not appear on Blackboard and you think it should be on Blackboard contact your instructor. If you have any questions about Blackboard please contact Kevin Silva at silva@chapman.edu.

Logging in

We have revised the instructions to accommodate a wider range of operating systems and browsers. We recommend that you use Internet Explorer or Firefox to access Blackboard and recommend against using the AOL browser.

If you are already logged in to a Chapman Active Directory computer you will not need to type your username and password again to login to Blackboard.

If you are not logged in to a Chapman Active Directory computer, there are two different types of dialog boxes that you might see when you login to Blackboard depending on the operating system and browser that you are using.

If you see a dialog box with two fields for text entry then you should type:

For the User Name:	CHAPMANEDU\username (e.g. CHAPMANEDU\smith100) NOTE: Be sure to use the \ slash, and not the / slash.
And for the password:	your Chapman email password

If instead you see a dialog box with three fields for text entry then you should type:

For the User Name:	your Chapman username (e.g. smith100)
For the Password:	your Chapman email password
And for the Domain:	CHAPMANEDU

Sometimes, especially if you are using a Macintosh, you may prompted for your username and password more than once. If this happens, please repeat the steps outlines above until you are successfully logged in to Blackboard.
