Are you a new student?
If your initial password does not work, call the Welcome Center at 573-840-9605 for sign-in assistance:
Your initial password is a combination of the following:
Example Student: Rocky Raider, born on July 1, 1966
Starts with dollar sign = $
First initial of first name, capitalized = R
First initial of last name, not capitalized = r
Birthday in numerical format: Month (2 digits), Day (2 digits), Year ( 4digits) = 07011966
Ends in an exclamation point = !
Based on these criteria, the initial password would be $Rr07011966!
Blackboard is the web-based system used to access online courses and additional web portions of face-to-face courses. Students normally have access to the course syllabus and material starting the first day of the course. Login assistance is available by calling 573-840-9605.
