Request Accounts: Blackboard for Sponsored Accounts

Before You Begin

  • All university students and employees receive Blackboard accounts by default.
  • Sponsored accounts do not receive Blackboard accounts by default and must request access.
  • The owner of the sponsored account (i.e., the University employee responsible for the management of the sponsored user and account) must request Blackboard access on behalf of the sponsored user. Sponsored users cannot request Blackboard themselves.
  • You must be the owner of the sponsored account to request Blackboard for the sponsored user.
  • Please have your UofL login credentials handy.
