What is Blackboard?
Blackboard is a course management system. Many, but not all, Glendale Community College courses are developed using Blackboard. You must be enrolled in a Blackboard-supported course to have access. If you are not sure if you are supposed to be using Blackboard, please talk with your course's instructor.

Gmail and Blackboard:
-
This @maricopa.edu email account is automatically loaded into Blackboard. Any student’s personal email address currently in Blackboard will be replaced with this new email address. ALL email sent via Blackboard to students will be sent via the students’ @maricopa.edu email.
- Students will NOT be able to change their email address from the official @maricopa.edu format, either in Blackboard or in My Maricopa. Students must check their Gmail regularly, OR they will need to go to http://google.maricopa.edu and forward their mail to their preferred email account.
- In order to use the Maricopa Community Colleges’ Gmail, students must first discover their MEID and set up a password by logging in to http://my.maricopa.edu.
For additional information, including instructions for forwarding all email from Google mail to another email address, please see Setting Up Email Addresses for Use within Blackboard – Students.
