Blackboard Ultra Base Navigation - Student Getting Started
What Does This Mean for Me?
As a student you shouldn’t need to do anything when you login into Blackboard for the Spring 2022 semester. You will notice that Blackboard has been updated to Ultra Base Navigation. If you have trouble finding your courses, configuring your Activity Stream, or anything else, please refer to Blackboard’s Ultra Base Navigation Info for Students or contact the IT Help Desk.
