Adding/Updating Your Email Address and Other Personal Information in Blackboard
Printable instruction sheet. (PDF)

When your Blackboard account is created, the only personal information entered is your name, your login and password, and your email address. This is the only information required for the Blackboard account, unless your instructor asks for additional information.

Your Blackboard account is created from the information in your WebAdvisor record. If your email was missing or was incorrect in WebAdvisor at the time that your account was created, then your Blackboard account will also have missing or incorrect information.

All registered students, including registered auditing students, have Blackboard accounts and may log onto Blackboard using their WebAdvisor login and password. Protect your privacy by not sharing this account with anyone else. If you do not know your WebAdvisor login and password, please contact your school's registrar. Cross-registered students from other schools should consult the registrar of the GTU member school where they are taking the class or the GTU Common Registrar.

1. To add or update your email address (or any other personal information) in Blackboard, log onto Blackboard (this link opens a separate browser window for Blackboard).
   
   
2. In the TOOLS box on the left side of the My Home Page screen, click on the link, Personal Information.
   
   
3. On the next screen, select Edit Personal Information.
   
   
4. On the next screen, add or edit your email address, or any other personal information. (You cannot change your login and password.) When finished, click on the SUBMIT button, found on the bottom of the screen.
   
   
5. On the next screen, click the OK button.

Your personal information is now updated.

Please note that new or updated information is added or updated ONLY in Blackboard. You must still contact your school registrar to update your registration records.

You can also set “Privacy Options,” which enable other people in the class to see your email address. The default is to HIDE this information.

1. From your Blackboard homepage, click on the Personal Information link again.
2. This time, select Set Privacy Options
3. Check the EMAIL box.
4. Then click on the SUBMIT Button on the bottom of the screen.

Now, when people click on Communication, and go to the Roster, your email address will display.
