Can I access my course work when traveling internationally?
Probably. But we can't guarantee it.
Blackboard works everywhere, but the government or Internet Service Provider (ISP) in certain locations may impose some restrictions that we cannot control.
The same is true for any 3rd party tools within Blackboard courses (i.e. Pearson, McGraw-Hill, etc). One of them may be restricted even if Blackboard is not.
Troubleshooting
If Blackboard or a 3rd party tool is restricted, you could try using a Virtual Desktop to remotely connect to Columbus State's campus. However, there is also a chance this will be restricted in certain locations.
Another option, is to use a personal Virtual Private Network (VPN). Learn more from PCmag: Why You Need a VPN, and How to Choose the Right One.
