Blackboard (All Users) - How to Login to Blackboard

This document provides an overview of how to login to Blackboard. Please note that ITS does not provide support for the Bb mobile app. All users should access Bb through a supported browser on a computer or mobile device.

To log into Blackboard:

  1. Using a supported browser, click the Bb logo on the SIUE web site or click http://bb.siue.edu.
  2. Click the Login button.

    This image shows the Login button.

  3. Enter your SIUE email address. eg: jsmith@siue.edu. Click Next.

    This image shows the place when you enter your SIUE email and the associated Next button.

  4. Enter your password. This is the same one used to access your SIUE email. Click Next.

    This image shows the Next button and the screen where you enter your password.
  5. Approve the sign in request using the Microsoft Authenticator app on your smartphone (2-digit code on your screen will differ from example below). If MFA was set up for SMS/Voice, enter the 6-digit code texted to your phone or answer the automated call from Microsoft.

This picture shows an example of the number generated by Microsoft Authenticator App.

NOTE: 

  1. Not all functions act the same on a mobile device as they do on a computer. 
  2. Avoid submitting assignments and taking tests on a mobile device. Issue may arise that cannot be resolved. 
  3. The Blackboard mobile app should be avoided as there are issues that cannot be resolved; ITS cannot troubleshoot the mobile app.
