To enroll in a Blackboard course:

From a computer that is connected to the Internet, open up a web browser (Internet Explorer or Netscape (NOT AOL or some other browser as these sometimes cause problems). In the location or address bar, type in the URL: http://blackboard.willamette.edu. This gets you to the main page (#1). Click the “Login” button, to get to the login screen (#2). Note you'll need to reset your password once if you haven't done so already.

  1.  Willamette BlackBoard 6 home page
  2. Willamette Blackboard 6 login screen

Type in your normal Willamette University email username and password to log in.

If you have logged in correctly, you’ll get a page that looks similar to this, which lists all the courses in which you are enrolled in that are using Blackboard under “My Courses” (#3):

3. a sample "my institution" page

If you don't see your course listed here, choose the green “Courses” tab just under the black “Willamette University” image to get a list of all other available Blackboard supported courses.  Click on the course category you need, and then find the course in which you want to enroll.

You’ll see a screen similar to this (#4) – click on the “Enroll” button next to your course:
  1. a sample enroll screen  
  2. a sample submit to enroll page

IMPORTANT: Your enrollment is not complete unless you click the “Submit” button in the next screen to confirm (#5). You should now be enrolled in the Blackboard portion of your course.
