Here you can find help and information about how to use Blackboard.

How to log in to Blackboard?

To log in to Blackboard, you click the blue button ”Logga in på Blackboard / Sign in to Blackboard” and then select our university on the next page before continuing. You click on the link to select from a list, click the arrow, scroll down and choose ”University of Gävle” (NOT the one that says Alumni) and click the button ”Proceed to Login”.

In the following page, you use the login and password (your user account) that you downloaded when you first started on the University of Gävle (example; login: vf00tse and password: c3tg8s1k).

Problem with your user account?

If you have problems with your user account, please contact the IT-support.

If you wish to change the system language to English, you need to change your settings AFTER login.

Routine updates on Blackboard

To ensure the quality and stability of Blackboard, a service is scheduled the last Thursday of every month during the night. During this times, there might be system shutdowns. On the following Fridays we will test and verify the system. On occasion, there might be system disturbancies due to upgrades the night before.
