Blackboard Login

Go to the GPTC Blackboard Login Page

  • Your Blackboard username is your Single Sign On (SSO) username. 
    This is your unique email account name (example: jsmith10). When entering your username for Blackboard, do not include @student.gptc.edu. 
  • Your initial password is Gptc and your 6-digit date of birth in Gptcmmddyy format (example: January 1, 2020 = Gptc010120).
  • To change your Blackboard password, you will need to change your SSO password.
  • Note: If you change your SSO password, your Banner Web and student email passwords will be changed as well. 

For Blackboard Help:

Click on HelpDesk Request Form located on the left side menu Institution Page. Under the Section Section Help and Resources you will click on the link for HelpDesk Request Form. Fill out the form if you need help with Blackboard or Respondus. If you need help with your login for Blackboard, GPTC Email, Banner or Respondus, you must contact Student Support at 404.297.9522 ext. 5399 and choose Option 3 not Option 1. If you need help with OKTA or you changed your phone number, you must contact Student Support as well.

We are committed to providing all individuals the necessary tools to help them succeed. We believe that all individuals should have equal access to higher education. We strive to comply with the federal accessibility standards.

Technology can be a great tool to help students achieve success. It should not be a roadblock to student success. At GPTC, we are committed to providing all students assistance to achieve success. Each student should be able to interact with the technology in ways that work best for him or her. If you need additional assistance with course content, please contact your instructor.

In your Blackboard course, you will see a drop-down arrow to the right of all documents. By clicking the drop-down arrow, you can select a more accessible format for your needs. Go to Ally Help for Students to get more information. You can also see Ally Tutorials for Blackboard on YouTube.

Any student in need of testing or classroom accommodations due to a documented disability should contact our Disability Services Advisor.
