The free Blackboard app, Bb Student, provides you with easy access to some features of your Blackboard courses and modules. Get your announcements, learning material, discussions, grades from anywhere.

The app is available for your Android, Apple and Windows smartphones and tablets. You can choose to receive notifications on your phone or tablet to be alerted to new announcements, grades and content.

Remember: Not everything is available in the Blackboard app so you must access Blackboard via the web (Student Portal) too. For example, the due dates for Turnitin assignments are not displayed in the app.
