Blackboard @ Rowan-Cabarrus

Blackboard is the College’s Learning Management System (LMS). Blackboard is a user-friendly portal that provides online access to to class content and assignments. When accepted to the College, students are given a Blackboard login that will provide access all of the courses for which they are enrolled. All classes at Rowan-Cabarrus have a Blackboard site in which faculty contact information, the class syllabus, and additional course materials and resources can be found. Even if you’re taking a face-to-face class, make sure to check each of your Blackboard class sites throughout the semester for announcements and course information.
