Blackboard is an e-Education platform. In the doctoral program, Blackboard serves as a vital interface between students and professors. Professors may post readings, assignments, and discussion sessions on Blackboard.

A few important things about Blackboard:

  • Enrollment. All students who have enrolled in a course through the University Information System prior to the start of the session are automatically enrolled in those courses in Blackboard.
  • Active Courses. Only those courses that are actively being used by the instructor are visible to students when they log into Blackboard.
  • Adds / Drops. Students who add or drop courses after the beginning of the session are NOT automatically added to or removed from a course. Please see your instructor to have yourself added to or removed from a course after the start of a session.
  • Access. To log into your Blackboard home page.
  1. Using an internet browser, go to http://blackboard.gonzaga.edu
  2. Click on the “Login” button.
  3. For your username, type in the username you use to access Zagmail.
  4. For your password, use the same password that you use for Zagmail.
  5. If your login is successful, you will be directed to your personal Blackboard entry screen. Active courses you are enrolled in will be listed under the “My Courses” section in the upper right corner of the screen. If you do not find a course you expect to see there, please contact your instructor.
