Blackboard Help: For Instructors

Usernames and Passwords

Enumber and Passwords

After activating your College account, you will have a single username (e#######) and password to access all systems on campus through the Portal. While you might initially need to log in to some systems separately (e.g., once to the Portal and then again to Email), you will have a single account and over time see the full benefits of single sign on as you are seamlessly linked from system to system upon entry to the Portal at http://my.elmhurst.edu

 

Please contact the Elmhurst University Service Desk if you do know or have your enumber and password.
