Student Accounts for Faculty and Staff in Blackboard

Your "student" account is now working in Blackboard.
For all faculty and staff with Blackboard accounts, the VCCS has activated your "student" account. To use your student account, you will need to do the following:

1. As faculty or staff, go into your course through My NOVA or directly through the Blackboard login page - http://learn.vccs.edu/
2. Add username_student (remember username=your username in Bb)to your course roster by going into the Control Panel>User Management>Enroll User>enter username_student in the Search box>click Search>check Add box next to user> click Submit>click OK.
3. Log out of Blackboard.
4. Log into Blackboard using the Blackboard direct login - http://learn.vccs.edu Your student account will NOT work by logging into Blackboard through My NOVA.
5. When the Blackboard portal page opens, you will be looking at the portal page as a student would see it.

The student account allows you to see your course as your students see it and to see some of the features that only students have, such as the student webpage. This may be helpful as you build your Blackboard course or add assignments to existing courses. It is also very useful for demonstrating the student only features, too.
