Enrollment 101: Blackboard

      
    Once you are registered for classes here at Charleston Southern, you will have access to an online portal called Blackboard to find detailed information about your classes. You can get to Blackboard through the main menu of MyCSU, or directly through this link.

    First-time log-in instructions:
    • Click the "Forgot password?" link
    • Enter your first and last names in the appropriate boxes
    • Enter your CSU ID # in the username box
    • Click submit.
    • This will send a password reset link to your CSU email account.
    • We recommend that you change your password periodically to ensure security. Don't use common personal information, such as your name, for your password.  
    To change an existing password:
    • Log in to Blackboard.
    • Access the menu next to your name in the page header > Settings > Personal Information > Change Password.
    • Passwords are case sensitive, must not contain spaces, and can contain a maximum of 32 characters.

    Please note: many professors do not add students to courses in Blackboard until right before classes begin, or even a few days into the term. If you see classes missing from Blackboard, this is fairly normal. Your professor will likely address Blackboard access during the first week of the term, so you will receive further instructions directly from them.
