Blackboard Ultra (Students) - Groups: Send Group Email
This article describes how students can send emails to their group members within a Blackboard Ultra course.
Sending Group Email
Blackboard Ultra allows students to communicate with their group members directly through email. Here's how to send an email to your group:
- Navigate to your Blackboard Ultra course.
- Locate the Groups tab on the top menu. This will display all groups or group sets in which you are enrolled.

- Expand the list of groups within a group set, if you do not see your group's name.

- Click on the envelope icon for the specific group you wish to email.

- On the screen that opens, compose your email with a subject and message, then send it as you normally would.

- The recipients, including a copy to yourself, will see a message in their email inbox with the subject "[Sender's name] sent you a new message in [course name]".
Troubleshooting
- If you do not see any groups in the Groups tab, your instructor may not have established groups or enrolled group members yet.
- Ensure that your email client is properly configured on your device.
