Students will automatically be enrolled in Blackboard courses and self-enrollment is no longer necessary.

Log into the new Blackboard Version 8 here: bb8.cua.edu  Use your CUA Network user name and password to log in.  This is the same information used to log onto campus computers, and is not the same as your Cardinal Station or Cardinal Mail log in information.

If you are having difficulty logging into Blackboard 8, you may need to reset your Network password.  Click on the “forgot password?” link on the Blackboard log in screen.  You will be directed to the home.cua.edu password reset page.  Read the directions carefully.  After you receive your temporary password at home.cua.edu wait 20 minutes before attempting to log into home.cua.edu with the temporary password.  Do not try to log into Blackboard using the temporary password.  You must log into home.cua.edu with the temporary password, and create a unique password which can be used to log onto campus computers or to access Blackboard.
