Blackboard (Students) - Publisher and Third-Party Content
Many academic textbook publishers offer web-based learning materials to accompany their textbooks. Often, these companies ask that institutions do not attempt to provide technical support for their products. As a result, ITS is unable to provide technical support for problems that occur with most publisher content. Please contact your professor if you are having trouble with WebAssign, Pearson's MyMathLab, Cengage NOW, and other publisher material. After contacting your professor, use the list below to find technical support for the third-party product(s) used in your course.
