Effective May 29, 2008 User ID (name) and Password for NEW STUDENTS
All students will be provided with an “edisonohio.edu” email account
and data storage area. The edisonohio.edu email address will be the
ONLY email address for ALL official college communication.
In addition, the student will have a User ID (name) and password to
access the Edison Network, E-mail, Blackboard, and WebAdvisor.
In order to retrieve your User ID (name) enter the requested information; Last Name plus Social Security Number or Student ID Number. Click on the Submit button and your User ID will appear on the screen. Write this down as you will need this to finish setting up your account.
When your network account is created, it is created with a one-time user default password. The password is composed of the last four digits of your Student ID number plus the first four characters of your Last Name. The first letter of the last name is Capitalized. For example, if your Student ID is 0278957 and your last name is Green your default password will be: 8957Gree. For students whose last names are less then four characters the CAPITAL letter “A” will be added to the end of their name until enough letters are added to satisfy the four-character requirement (i.e. 1234CoxA). Passwords are case-sensitive; UPPER, lower or MiXeD. Every student will be required to enroll at the Password Management site before they can access the Edison network, email, Blackboard, and WebAdvisor.

Online Help After successfully logging into Blackboard you will access the course by selecting the link in the “My Courses” module. You will see the course listed under the title “Courses in which you are enrolled”. Click on the underlined link to access the Getting Started Course site. Inside the Getting Started course, you will find several areas to help you get started in your online course.
Note: English courses at Edison use an application called ConnectWeb (with the exception of Technical Writing courses, which use Blackboard). There are a few English instructors that use both systems so it is best to check with your instructor. A link is available on the Edison Homepage to ConnectWeb. Once you access the link click on the dropdown menu to locate your course and follow the directions for logging in the first time. Tips for Online Students:
It is your responsibility to access your online course
site no later than Wednesday of the FIRST WEEK of
classes. Failure to check in within the first week of class may
put you seriously behind. Need Help: Please contact: Cecelia Green (cgreen@edisonohio.edu) Websites: User IDs (names) and E-mail: http://www.edisonohio.edu/EdisonMail/Students.htm Blackboard Help: http://www.edisonohio.edu/blackboard/ Revised: May 13, 2008
