How do I activate a Bb@GW account?
Your Blackboard account is created as soon as you activate your GWMail account and are officially registered for a GW course. Your GWMail account will be ready for BlackBoard access 24 hours after it has been created. Your username is your Net ID (the same as you username@gwu.edu), and your password is the same as your GWMail password. If you change your GWMail password, your Blackboard password will change, as well. In Summary: You log into Bb@GW using the Net ID and password you use to log into GWMail . If you cannot log in, make sure that 1) you have a GWMail account, 2) you are officially registered for classes in this or an upcoming semester, 3) you are using your Net ID and password to log in to Bb@GW, 4) you do not have a hold of any sort due to unpaid tuition, fines, etc.
