Log into Blackboard
From any location on the CAC website, click
on the Blackboard link at the top of the page
or type in the URL:
http://blackboard.centralaz.edu.
Your Blackboard username is firstname_lastname. Use your legal name, exactly as it is
written on your schedule. If more than one person has the same name, numbers have been
added at the end of the usernames. Example: john_doe,
john_doe1, john_doe2
If you have a hyphenated last name, there is no hyphen in
your username. Example: John Doe-Smith has
john_doesmith as the username
If you have a double first name there is no space or hyphen
in your username. Example: Mary Jane Doe’s username
is maryjane_doe
If you’re new to Blackboard, your default password is your
birth date in MMDDYYYY format. Eight numbers are
required. Example: A person with the birth date of March
16, 1981 would have 03161981 as their password.
You should change your Blackboard password as soon as you
log in for the first time. Here are instructions for changing
your Blackboard password.

screen click Personal Information.
2. In the Personal Information menu, click Change Password.
3. Enter your new password in the Password and Verify Password
boxes.
