Student Resource Center for CTC Blackboard 9.1


 
CTC is dedicated to supporting the technical and operational needs of our online students. In this effort we give our users several ways to find the data and information they require. This page contains Technical bulletins and announcements, information on technical support, links to important information and services, tutorials on the currently deployed version of BB, information on deployed building blocks, and CTC system customizations. For live training sessions, please access the Student Center. If you find any item on this page that needs to be updated, or anything you feel should be added, please contact the Webmaster.

If you have never taken an online class with Central Texas College, start by reading the Getting Started Guide.
