CELTIC

Q: What if I have username/password problems?

Your Blackboard username and password is usually (but not always) the same as your network (email) account.
New instructors should call CELTIC to receive their Blackboard ID and password.

Instructors: Contact CELTIC for password help.
Student: Contact the Help Desk for password help.

Student Usernames in Blackboard are the same as as a Student's Network ID. However, Passwords in Blackboard have evolved over time. Privacy issues no longer allow Iona College to use the social security number as the unique student identifier. Newly generated accounts use the last four digits of the PeopleSoft EMPLID.

Forgotten Student Passwords:
The Ryan Help Desk located at the main desk of Ryan Library assists students who have forgotten their passwords. Students must show valid Iona ID.

Blackboard Passwords After June 24, 2004:
Newly registered Iona students, or current Iona students who are enrolled in Blackboard for the first time would use the first two letters of their first name, first two letters of their last name and the last four digits of the EMPLID.

Blackboard Passwords After June 25, 2003:

Blackboard Passwords Prior to June 25, 2003, but after August 30, 2002:
