IMPORTANT: Most instructors do not
make their course Blackboard sites available to students until the class start
date and sometimes not until after the start date. Prior to that, you will not
be able to access your Blackboard course site(s), even if you are able to login
to the Blackboard system.
If you have never had a class in Blackboard at Chabot
before, you won't be able to login to the system until about one week prior to
the start of classes. If you register after that, it will take at least 24 hours
after registration for you to login to Blackboard.
You also will not be able to login to Blackboard to view a past course if your
instructor has made the course Bb site unavailable. (Most instructors make
Blackboard sites unavailable to students shortly after a course has ended.)
Go to the login page
https://clpccd.blackboard.com. Add this address to your Favorites
or Bookmark it;otherwise, you may end up having to login twice each
time if you save any other page. NOTE: Logging into Blackboard from the Zone is not recommended.
Step 2: Enter your username and password:
Username:
Your User Identification Number,
or "W number," which is a unique number
beginning with W and containing 8 digits.
Password: the first two letters of your first name, followed by the
first two letters of your last name (all lowercase), followed by the last four
digits of your User Identification Number.
For example, Maria Valdez with a User Identification Number of W12345678
would log in as:
Username: W12345678
Password: mava5678 (all lowercase letters + last four digits)
Click Login. You may see the following Security Alert:
Click Yes. You should now be in Blackboard.
Step 3: Verify your e-mail address
NOTE: In order to receive email from your instructors, you must
determine which email account you want to use for Blackboard. The default email

automatically receive school emails through your Zonemail account unless
you change it to a
personal email account.
