Logging in to Blackboard (send to your students)
Easiest way: go to baruch.cuny.edu, click “Quick Links”, select “Blackboard”, then select “Login To Blackboard” on the upper right.
Blackboard uses CUNY Login (firstname.lastnameXX@login.cuny.edu). Students should all be able to log in to CUNY Login, if they can’t they can go go to https://managelogin.cuny.edu/ and claim their account or reset their password. Only if they can’t reset their password or claim their account themselves should they email the Helpdesk.
Students have their CUNY Login and also separate logins for Baruchmail (firstname.lastname@baruchmail.cuny.edu) and their Baruch account (f.lastname).
Students can look up their login info for those at https://www.baruch.cuny.edu/bctc/baruchusername/. Although the initial password is the same Baruchmail requires, it needs to be changed so they will be different after first login. The Helpdesk will reset passwords to the default if necessary. Sometimes returning students will need their Baruchmail or Baruch username accounts unlocked; this also requires an email to the Helpdesk.
