Blackboard FAQs

Courses become available on the first day of class. However, to see an example of an online course you can still browse the Student Tutorial and Library Resources in the meantime. After the first day of class, if you still cannot see your course, contact the IT Student Help Desk at 910-362-4357 for assistance.

If possible, take your test on a wired internet connection, instead of wireless. It is possible for (although rare) wireless connections to drop out during a test, locking you out. Also, do not take a test on the Bb Mobile App. When submitting your answer only click the “Submit” once. A double click will result in an Access Denied error and will lock you out of the test.

If possible, take a screen shot of the problem/error message you are receiving.

Next, contact your instructor immediately and explain the issue you had while taking the test. They are the only ones who can reset the test for you. Neither IT nor the Online Learning department can reset the test. Additionally, each instructor may have their own rules on test-taking. Please read your course syllabus for more information.

Where are my grades?

In your course on Blackboard, on the left side navigation, click on “View Grades” or a similarly named button, to see any grades that have been assigned by your instructor. Additional help can be found here: http://ondemand.blackboard.com/r91/movies/bb91_student_checking_grades.htm

Some instructors do not make grades available through Blackboard. In those cases please direct questions to the instructor.

Note: Final grades will be in your student WebAdvisor account, not in Blackboard. To view your final grades, login to myCFCC, and click WebAdvisor. From there click Students and then Grade Point Average by Term.

Yes, Blackboard does have a mobile app for Android, iPhone, and Blackberry devices. The app is designed to be used as a quick way to stay connected to your online course. Do not use it to take a test.
