View a tutorial on this topic
Login access to your My WebCT/Bb page will be available within two hours after you register.
If you have not received your WebCT/Blackboard user name and password, find out how to get your login information.
1. Go to the WebCT/Blackboard Login page on the CCBC website and click on the orange oval Login button.
2. The next page displays a box where you will enter your user name and password. But first click on the Check Browser button on the right side of the screen if you have not already done so. WebCT/Blackboard will run a quick check of your system to make sure it is compliant with CE 8. Also note the information regarding Pop-up Blockers and Java Security Certificate. You must accept, or run, the Java Security Certificate in order for WebCT to function properly.
3. Now enter your user name and password, and click OK. You will log in to your personal My WebCT/Bb page, where you will see all of the CCBC credit classes for which you are registered, including those that are not online. In the current version of WebCT/Blackboard, a section will be created automatically for every CCBC course, even if the instructor does not use it. Inactive sections cannot be deleted from your WebCT/Blackboard account; however, you can hide them so that they do not appear on your page. Click here for more information.
4. It is not required that you change your password. However, we recommend that you do so for security reasons. Click on the My Settings link in the top right corner of the My WebCT/Bb page. Below your personal profile click the Change Password button. Enter your current password (CCBC student ID number) and a new one of your choosing (at least 6 characters; can be letters an/or numbers). Make sure it is something you will remember! In the Secret Question and Secret Answer blocks, type a question and answer that only you will know. (This will allow you to use the Forgot your password? tool to get a new password, 24/7, should you forget yours.) Click Save and return to the My Settings page. Now click the Edit Profile button and enter your preferred email address in the E-mail window. This is the address to which a new password will be sent. Click Save, and when you return to the My Settings page, click Done.

NOTE: The Forgot your password? and Forgot your login information? tools can only be used to get a new password after you have successfully logged in and completed step 4 above. They are not a means of finding your login information if you have never logged in. You can do that through SIMON.
NOTE: Changing your WebCT password will not change the way it appears on your SIMON account page. SIMON will always show your original password (your student ID number). Also, you cannot reset your WebCT password in SIMON; the Reset button there will only reset your Unix password.
SEE STEP 5 BELOW TO HAVE YOUR WEBCT/BB PASSWORD RESET.
5. If you lose/forget your new password AND you have completed step 4 above, simply click on Forgot your login information? or Forgot your password? on the login screen and enter the email address and secret answer you created. A new password will be sent to that email address. If you did not complete step 4, contact the CCBC Helpdesk or phone 443-840-4357 to have your password reset.
6. Your instructor may keep access to the course turned off, or keep most of the course content hidden until the session or semester begins. Contact your instructor if the course content is not available by the first day of the session or semester.
7. In addition to the courses on your My WebCT/Bb page you will find links to a series of WebCT/Blackboard tutorials. This material is provided to you as a resource.
