Blackboard is the College’s original Learning Management System (LMS). Effective Fall 2026, it is being used by certain Corporate and Continuing Education (non-credit) online classes and by Curriculum (for-credit) students from Spring 2026 who are completing their Academic Probation course. All Curriculum courses are using the new LMS, Canvas.
