Logging Into Blackboard at UMBC

Assuming you've got a valid UMBC userid, there are three ways to login to Blackboard at UMBC:

1. Directly from any Web browser with the following URL (or Web address):

http://blackboard.umbc.edu

2. From within myUMBC (under the "Academics" tab).

  • You won't need to login again since myUMBC and Blackboard share the same userid/password

3. By finding the "Using Blackboard at UMBC" site through the UMBC Search Engine (or at http://www.umbc.edu/blackboard).

Authentication: Using Your UMBC Userid

Except for myUMBC--which uses the same userid/password as Blackboard--you will be prompted for your UMBC userid when login directly from the Web or through the "Using Blackboard at UMBC" site.

UMBC WebAuth

NOTE: If you get a constant "security" notice that doesn't let you get into Blackboard, the likely problem is that your UMBC userid has not been added to the Blackboard database. A sure test is whether you can also login to myUMBC. If you can login to myUMBC, but not Blackboard, then your UMBC account hasn't been added to Blackboard. Contact the Help Desk at 410.455.3838 or helpdesk@umbc.edu to have it added to Blackboard.

If you can't login to Blackboard or myUMBC, then your account probably hasn't been created. To do so, go to the following site:
