Blackboard Support

Your Blackboard password is either the last four (4) digits of your social security number or "ICC" plus the last 5 digits of your Social Security Number. (example: ICC12345)

Blackboard's access may be intermittent between 3:00am-4:00am. Avoid completing online test during this time.

If your class does not appear in your Blackboard account, please contact your instructor.

Blackboard is a web-based course management system that ICC uses to deliver online courses, hybrid courses (part online, part face-to-face) and traditional (all face-to-face) courses. Blackboard is accessible through a computer anywhere the Internet is accessible. Students taking online courses will use Blackboard. Instructors will inform students taking traditional courses if Blackboard is required for the class.
