Accessing your Online Course
 To
log into your online course you will need to have an account known as a
Blackboard account.
A Blackboard account will be created automatically for you based on
your registration in an online course. This account will not be activated
until the actual start of the course. If you are a current user of
Blackboard at KCC, you still will not be able to access your course until
its start date. Online courses at KCC follow the semester schedule. They
are not Open Entry/Open Exit.
Using the username and password of this
account you can log into the Blackboard server and access all of your
online courses at KCC.
Steps for logging into the Blackboard
server at KCC:
-
You need to use a computer that is
connected to the Internet and has a popular browser (e.g. Internet
Explorer).
-
Open a browser and enter the following
URL or web address: http://bb.kellogg.edu.
-
Click the Login button.
-
Enter your username and password and
click the Login button. (If you do not know your username and
password, visit the previous username and password
page.)
-
Once you have logged in successfully,
you will be located at the "my Bb @ KCC" page. Here
you can update your personal information, change your password, or
enter a specific course.
 The
"my Bb @ KCC" page contains content specific to Kellogg Community College and
the user who has logged into Blackboard. Here all users of
Blackboard will find the following hyperlinked tabs located at the top of
the page - my Bb @ KCC, Courses, and Academic Web Resources.
my
Bb @ KCC
The "my Bb @
KCC" tab area contains tools and information specific to each users’ use of Blackboard. Here
users can update their personal information (e.g. email
address), change their Blackboard password, and enter a specific
Blackboard course from this page. Courses
The
Courses tab area lists courses specific to each instructor and student as well as the
Course Catalog for the college. Students and instructors simply click on a course
title from the Courses tab area to access the course web site. Academic
Web Resources
The Academic Web
Resources tab area provides direct access to Blackboard’s Resource
Center where students and instructors can explore a number of knowledge areas. Students
and instructors can
customize the Resource Center to provide quick access to their preferred
subject matters.
Change Your
Password!
Before you log in to Blackboard, be sure
your KCC Portal login is working. Once you have logged into the KCC
Portal, you MUST change your
password! Changing your password is required for the Portal because
your initial password is only valid for a limited number of logins.
Change your Universal Password before logging in to Blackboard.
Blackboard users can no longer change their password in the Blackboard
system.
