Where do I get my Blackboard Account?

The first step to getting started in Blackboard is to ensure that your Louisiana Tech issued user account has been created and that you are able to successfully login to the campus network (i.e. you are able to log onto a computer and check your email.

Username & Password

Before you can log onto Blackboard, you must know two things:

• your username
• your password

Your username is the same as the first part of your Tech email address.  For example, if bulldog's Tech e-mail address is bulldog@latech.edu, then their Blackboard username is bulldog. 

Your Blackboard password is your 8 digit campus wide ID (CWID) number located on your faculty identification card.  If you forget your password, you can contact the Blackboard Administrator at CITadmin@latech.edu or 318-257-2912 to have it reset.
