A Note about Course Accounts

At this time Blackboard is not tied into the UF Registrar's sytem. This means that if you are enrolled in a class at UF, you are not necessarily automatically enrolled in the Blackboard equivalent of that class. Please contact your instructor for the appropriate process for gaining access to your class.
If your instructor has set your class up for "self-enrollment" then you will need to use your existing Blackboard account (if you have one) or create a new account. Please do not create a new account if you have forgotten your password. Please click here to have it reset.
