The UIC Blackboard portal is the online tool students and faculty use to access courses, grades, and other resources. Blackboard is often one of the first things you see when logging into Canvas — and it’s helpful to know a few things about it before jumping in!
In this guide we’ll walk through accessing your courses, assignments, grading and more.
