Blackboard

Starting this semester, Texas A&M University-Central Texas will use Blackboard 9.1 for online instruction. For students, your initial login will be your official Tarleton email address (eg. abc@go.tarleton.edu) with your UID as password. Please change your password in 'Personal Information' under 'My Places' after logging on. Note that your classes will not appear until the instructor for that class has marked it ready and available.
