instructions for Blackboard, including username and password information
and general tool navigation. If

Helpful Hints
To access your online, hybrid or web-enhanced course, you will need to
access the HCC Blackboard page and login to your account with your
Blackboard user name and password. After your initial login you
will be able to change your password. The homepage for Blackboard at HCC
is:
http://harford.blackboard.com.
Login to your Blackboard account
Go to http://harford.blackboard.com and click Log In.
Your
Blackboard user name is the same as your HCC user name.
If you
do not know your HCC user name you can find it at
https://www.harford.edu/findmyid/find_my_id.asp .
After login, you will be directed to your My Courses homepage. In the
center of the page is a list of all online, hybrid or web-enhanced
courses you are registered for in the current semester. This page will
be occasionally updated with global and course-specific announcements.
Please check this page for updates before entering your courses.
Change your Password
If you would like to change your password, click on the My Settings
link located in the upper right corner of your My Courses homepage. On
the next page, click the Change Password button and follow the
instructions.
Check Browser Compatibility
Login to your Blackboard account and click the Check Browser link
located in the upper right of the page. The browser checker will pop up
in a new window and run through a series of tests to determine your
browser’s compatibility with Blackboard. Follow the instructions in that
window if Blackboard detects any browser issues that need to be updated.
Helpful Hints
Signing Email
Be sure to sign any e-mail that you send, whether it is an instructor,
the online help desk, or a classmate. We do not know the correct
identity of "cutegrrl@yaho.com" unless you let us know.
Logging Out
Be sure to use the LOGOUT text links on the top navigation bars to
log out of your course. This step is especially important if you come to
HCC's campus or any public computer to access your online course.
Call Waiting
This feature may interfere with your Internet connection. You need to
input a code prior to dialing the phone number to turn call waiting off
while online. If your Internet service provider does not know this code,
contact your telephone carrier.
Problems?
For course specific questions, please contact the instructor. For
technical problems, contact our Help Desk at 410-836-4256 or e-mail
online@harford.edu.
