Going through your “Personal Information” profile in Blackboard and making sure that your email address is correct, is an important early step as a student. Even if you’re not signed up for an online course, that simple action might help you reset your Blackboard password if you forget it later.
For fully online classes, email can be a major form of communication between instructors and their students. To avoid missing something significant from your instructor, be sure that the email address field in your Blackboard profile is correct when classes begin.
You should know, the email account which is automatically entered for you in your Blackboard profile, does NOT work until you actually follow the steps and activate your free Clark Gmail account. If you would rather use your own email address in Blackboard, where you normally check and send email, just change the default to your preferred address. You can check out the site below for more details about how to do that.
