Blackboard

Blackboard is UND's Learning Management System connecting students, faculty and staff both inside and outside of the classroom. It is used for courses, organizations, committees, departments and groups. There are now two course environment options - Original course view and Ultra course view.

Please choose the link below for the course view you are using to access the help pages.

Blackboard Ultra Course View

Blackboard Ultra Course View (UCV) is the new, more modern, and more accessible course experience for students and instructors. UND will be transitioning to UCV over the next several semesters and will have a full transition of courses for the Fall 2025 semester. All Blackboard organization sites will need to be transitioned to Ultra by December 2025.

Instructors can now preview and convert their spring and summer 2025 courses to UCV or submit a request.
