Blackboard Status - Available

Student and faculty access to Blackboard is now available. Due to a processing error, many users were unable to login to Blackboard from about 8 am until about 1:15 pm on Sunday, May 3. In addition, because of this error, many faculty were missing students from their Grade Center listings.

The problem has now been corrected.

If you still experience difficulty logging into Blackboard, clear your temporary internet files and restart your computer (detailed instructions are here: http://online.indwes.edu/FAQ/cleartemps.htm) prior to contacting the Online Support team for assistance.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

Blackboard Login Difficulties - Sunday Morning - Update

At noon on Sunday, May 3, we are still awaiting an update from Blackboard Technical Support in order to reset student and faculty access. As soon as that happens full access to your courses will be restored.

Again, we apologize for the inconvenience.
