If COVID-19 affected the ability of a student you know to attend school last fall and they plan to graduate within 12 months, they may be eligible for tuition and fees assistance to help them graduate on time! Visit the landing page and share it with them for more information.

The content editor in Blackboard has a new look. The functionality is the same but some of the icons have changed. The biggest change is the “add content” function used to add files located on your computer or in your content collection. This Content Editor Document outlines the new icons and how to add content such as images and documents. The Blackboard Training page has links to other Blackboard training documents. If you have any questions you can contact Blackboard Support at blackboard@ttu.edu.
