What is Blackboard?
Blackboard is a course management system. Many, but not all, Glendale Community College courses are developed using Blackboard. You must be enrolled in a Blackboard-supported course to have access. If you are not sure if you are supposed to be using Blackboard, please talk with your course's instructor.
