Blackboard uses the same user ID and password as any other Wichita State University login. To log into Blackboard, follow the instructions below:
- Go to blackboard.wichita.edu
- Type your myWSUID@wichita.edu
- Example: A123B123@wichita.edu
- Type your Password. This is the same password you use to log into myWSU.
- Click Login
Passwords enable access to personal information. To maintain security, do not share passwords with others.
If you can’t log in
If you are unable to log into Blackboard using your current password or you have forgotten it, you can reset your password by following the instructions at https://wichita.edu/sspr.
If you are still having login issues, please contact the Technology Help Desk by calling 316-WSU-HELP (316-978-4357) or email them at helpdesk@wichita.edu.
After obtaining password
When signing on to Blackboard, don’t use the Blackboard (Bb tab) after logging into your myWSU portal.
Students should sign on to Blackboard via the link on the homepage or using blackboard.wichita.edu or use the Blackboard link on the www.wichita.edu home page (under Quick Links):
Signing onto Blackboard via access in the myWSU portal causes timeout problems for exams as well as other assignment submission difficulties.
Browser information
Do not use Internet Explorer as the browser when logging in to Blackboard because Internet Explorer is not compatible with Blackboard and leads to many technical problems.
Internet Explorer fails to display content or handle submissions correctly, resulting in students being unable to complete assignments and losing work. Please use Google Chrome or Firefox to access Blackboard. https://www.google.com/chrome/
https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/
Microsoft Edge, the replacement for Internet Explorer on Windows computers, is available for Windows users, but there isn’t a guarantee that it works with Blackboard at this time. Internet Explorer has been deprecated across all platforms. See: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/microsoft-edge.
