In order to use Blackboard, you must have a Cane ID and password. All enrolled students, faculty, and staff at UM, have a Cane ID and use it to access computer systems including MyUM and Blackboard. There are some people who need access to Blackboard who are not enrolled students, faculty, or staff. Those people need to create a CaneID so that we can use it to create a special account on Blackboard for them.
NOTE: You should NOT create a Cane ID if you already have one. You should NOT create a Cane ID on your own. Only create a CaneID, using the instructions below, if you do not already have a Cane ID, and you have been directed to get one by the coordinator of your program.
CaneID Creation Instructions:
The coordinator of your program will send the information to [email protected] so that an account can be created. The Blackboard Help Desk will have the account created and then notify the coordinator. THe coordinator of your program will, in turn, notify you.
