For extra security, current students are automatically enrolled in multi-factor authentication (MFA).
By verifying your identity using a second factor such as your smartphone, it prevents anyone but you from signing in even if the person knows your password. This helps keep your personal information and College data secure.
Each online classroom will be made available in Blackboard 4 days before the start date of the course. We recommend that you access your course early to find your syllabus and due dates, and to see what course materials or books you need for each class. Make a note of each instructor's contact information so you can access it even when you are offline.
Starfish is one way that professors provide feedback on how you are doing in your classes. You can also use Starfish to make appointments for academic advising or other student supports.
