Blackboard: Global Navigation Currently Unavailable
Global Navigation, which is the access point to My Blackboard and social learning tools (such as My Grades, Posts, and Updates), is currently unavailable. Students can still access their grades by going to the Tools area from within their course (located in the course menu) and then by clicking on “My Grades”.
Instructors, if the tool has been made unavailable, you can add it to your course menu by following these instructions (add “My Grades”). If you need assistance, please submit a ticket to our Online Support Center.
We are working to resolve the issue.
