Finding your Blackboard password
Introduction
Note
The University now receives a block login from Athens. Consequently only registered students will be able to access Library facilities from within Blackboard or the Portal.
Your Blackboard Learn password is also your Network password (sometimes referred to as your Active Directory or AD password). This is the same password your use to login to a computer in a computer lab, if you attend campus. You can use the Self Service Banner system to retrieve your network and e-mail passwords
