How to Access Online Courses
You will NOT have access to your online courses until the first day of the semester.
First a few reminders for the semester:
- If you are a first time online student, I recommend that you complete the Online Tutorial to get familiar with the online learning environment.
- It is MANDATORY that you periodically access your MSU email account. This is where we send reminders about important dates and where we send course evaluations.
- To help the semester go smoothly in your online course, please login to your online course immediately so that you are sure you have access.
- Please keep your virus protection updated. You will want to run a 'cleaner' regularly to get rid of any spyware. Do not download any peer-to-peer applications as these can interfere with your online courses.
- Please be aware of the technical requirements for online courses and the requirements for specific courses.
These can be found using the Schedule link on the left .
- You also need to know the important registration dates set by the Registrar's Office.
- You also need to be aware of the cancellation and withdrawals deadlines set by the Business Office.
Login instructions for your online course
Please print them and keep them handy.
For all other students with online courses:
- Go to the MSU Online homepage at: www.minotstateu.edu/online
- Click on Online Course Login in the right hand column
- Click on Blackboard CE 6 Login
- Enter your User Name and Password just as if you are logging into your MSU email account.
- If you do not know how to login to your MSU email account, enter the following User Name and Password:
- User Name: Enter your name in this format (use lowercase): firstname.lastname (i.e., sally.smith)
- Password: Enter your Student ID (or User ID) without the preceding W.
- Complete the following steps immediately:
- Check the course(s) listed
- Report any missing and/or extra course(s) to online@minotstateu.edu
- Access each course and contact your instructor
Thank you and have a great semester. Please send me an e-mail if you have any questions.
