Blackboard Faculty Resources @ NEIU

STUDENTS: The links below are for faculty only. Click here for student information. For Student Technology help, contact Student Computing Services (SCS) at (773) 442-4390. SCS has created a student tutorial for Blackboard.

Students and faculty can now log into NEIUport (http://neiuport.neiu.edu) with their NetID and password and access Blackboard directly (without an additional login) by clicking the “Log into Bb” icon on the upper right corner (next to the e-mail icon). This is the preferred way to access Blackboard.
