Blackboard
Blackboard is the Course Management System used at SUNY New Paltz. It provides a secure, password protected environment for Online, Blended and Face-2-Face courses. Some majors and some organizations have sites on Blackboard. Use your NPCUID and password to access Blackboard. To change your password, login to my.newpaltz.edu If you do not know your password, please contact smithl@newpaltz.edu or any staff member in the Academic Computing office, WSB1F.
When calling / emailing about an issue with your course or with your password, you must provide your first and last name as well as course and section number of a class you are taking. We do NOT want to know your social security number!
Blackboard requires the use of a java-enabled browser such as FireFox 3.0 or newer or Internet Explorer7.0 or newer for Windows; Safari 3.0 or newer for a MAC. Other java-enabled browsers may work, but are not Blackboard tested for reliability.
See the online PDF for a complete guide to Blackboard compatible Browsers.
NOTE: The preferred Windows browser is Firefox 3.0 or newer and is the ONLY browser certified by Blackboard to work in a Windows / Blackboard environment.
Safari 4.0 is certified to work in a MAC / Blackboard environment.
We do NOT recommend using Internet Explorer with Blackboard.
To access Blackboard, point your browser to https://blackboard.newpaltz.edu.
