Step by Step Instructions


LMC uses Blackboard for its completely and partially online courses. Here’s how to start using LMC’s Online Classes:

  1. Click on the Login button. This will take you to the login page.
  2. Your username is composed of your first initial, full last name, and the last three digits of your Student ID # (a seven digit number near the top of your class registration receipt). This is the same as your Web Advisor username. Type in your Username: jrodriguez123 (example).
  3. Your birth date is your initial Blackboard Password. Type in your Password: 070476 (example - if you had been born on July 4, 1976, note there are no "/").
  4. Click on the Login button.
  5. You’re now in your personal Blackboard area. On the right side of the page is a box with the title My Courses at the top. Inside that box is a list of links to all Blackboard classrooms that are currently available. Click on the classroom you wish to enter.
  6. You’re now on the Announcements page in that classroom. Follow your instructor’s directions.

Make Sure To Check Your Email Address
Without your email address other students in your class will not be able to contact you directly and you will not be able to communicate with your instructor confidentially. So when you log in for the first time make sure that you do the following:

  1. Log in following the instructions above (steps 1 through 5).
  2. You’re now in your personal Blackboard area. On the left side is a box entitled Tools. Click on the last of these tools, Personal Information.
  3. Click on Edit Personal Information. Note that this is where Change Password is also located.
  4. Type in the email address you want to use for your LMC online classes (many people have more than one email address) into the E-mail text box(the fourth box from the top).
  5. Click on the Submit button at the bottom of the page.
