Guide to Blackboard!<\/b><\/h2>\n
<\/div>\n
It had been two weeks of classes now. So, now it’s the time in semester where we all need to be pros with Blackboard. If not, no need to worry, as this week we are bringing you a guide on how to use Blackboard.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Starting this semester we have two systems for UMass Lowell Blackboard which can be found at\u00a0uml.edu\/blackboard<\/a>.
\n1. The top middle tile is the On Campus Course Login – this is for courses you are taking on campus that use additional online materials. Your professor should be communicating with you if you need to access it throughout the semester.
\n2. The top left tile is the Online and Continuing Ed Login – this is for any courses you are taking exclusively online and do not meet in a classroom. Remember, online courses cost extra!
\nFor International students, It does not cost extra, infact its a lot more cheaper than the On campus course.<\/p>\n

Logging in and more!<\/b>
\nIn order to login into Blackboard you can go to\u00a0uml.edu\/blackboard<\/a>.Then enter your UML Email ID and Password. After you are logged in you will find a listing of courses in which you are enrolled, Grades, Important Announcements, Blackboard Messages and links to some of the important tools. The picture below provides a brief description of some of the areas on this page.<\/p>\n

Course Page<\/b>
