Step-By-Step
Guest Access Instructions
(Text version)

1. Instructors and TAs can configure their Blackboard course site to be accessible by guests. Guests do not have user accounts in the Blackboard database and do not have usernames or passwords.

2. If an instructor has made a course site available to guests you can access the site as a guest by:

• Open up Microsoft Explorer or Netscape Navigator browser and go to http://blackboard.tufts.edu
• Click on the "Course Catalog" button on the left side of the display. This will display the Blackboard Catalog page.
• Use the links provided to locate the course you want to access.
• If the course site is accessible to guests, a "Preview" button will be located to the right of the course name. Click on the "Preview" button. This will display all of the guest accessible content.
• Guests cannot participate in discussions, chat rooms, view grades, participate in groups, send e-mail or access a digital dropbox.
