How to enroll in a Bb 7 course:

• You will need to use the last four digits of your social security number as your password when logging into Blackboard. You'll need to find the Blackboard Login (Summer/Fall '08) link to begin. That link appears on http://cardinal.wju.edu
• Once you login to Blackboard with your username and password, you'll be on the My Blackboard tab, Click the Courses Tab near the top left of the screen next to the My Blackboard tab.
• Select Browse Course Catalog link. 
• In the dropdown box next to the word Course, choose ID
• In the blank after Contains, type DPT or ENG or HIS or some other course 3 letter code.
• Click the Go button which is on the next line down.
• In the search results, find your course with the appropriate instructor (you’ll do this search/enroll process for each course).
• Click the ENROLL button on the extreme right edge of the screen (across from the course name) to enroll in each course.
• You’ll be prompted to click Submit and Ok and then you’ll end up in the course. 
• Remember to do this process for each course that uses Blackboard.
  

Get your account and password information from ITS, if you did not see it on your schedule. ITS offices are in the Acker Science Center Room 302 and 304.

NOTE: This "enroll" process is not to be equated with the process that is necessary at the WJU Registrar's Office.

 How to change your password on Blackboard:

1. Select the "My Blackboard" Tab.
2. Click on the "Personal Information" tool (green box on the left side of the screen).
3. Select "Change Password".
4. Type in the new password twice and Submit.

Typically you can get your text box to work by doing one of two things.
Option 1: When you log into Bb on the left hand side of the screen, you'll see a Tools area. The bottom choice is Personal Information. Pick that. In the next set of choices that appear, you'll see Set Text Box Editor as a choice. Choose that. When you choose that, set the option to Unavailable and Submit. This should allow the text box to appear; it just won't have all the fancy options that the install in option 2 would give you.

Option 2: When you click to try to add a new thread in a discussion board in a class, there is usually a pale yellow bar across the top of the screen that prompts you to install something. If you click there to install, the text box (with options) typically will start to work from that point on. (You may need to start the machine up fresh to get the dialog box in pale yellow.)
