My UNL (Blackboard)
My UNL (Blackboard) accounts are initiated after a student registers for classes.
How do I log in? What's my username and password?
Part 1: Find out your username:
Procedure for student accounts:
- Go to the What About Me (WAM) system. Log in using your NU ID number and the PIN you use for class registration.
- Once logged in, click the link Address, E-mail and Blackboard Information found under the heading "My Records."
- On the address information page, you'll find you're My UNL (Blackboard) username. Also on this page, be sure to update your email address. The email address in WAM is the email address that is utilized by My.UNL (Blackboard) when sending and receiving emails.
Part 2: Your password:
Your password by default is your NU ID number found on your NCard; the NU ID is the 8-digit number found in the lower-left portion of your NCard above the barcode. Use this to login the first time.
WAM
Access to your financial aid information, registration, class schedule, grades, your address and your bill. You can even reserve your textbooks at the University Bookstore by simply:
- Going to the eNroll tab in WAM, select "Reserve Textbooks or Update your Reservation at the University Bookstore".
- Select the term you want to preorder textbooks and click SUBMIT.
- You will be taken directly to a shopping cart that lists your classes. If you want to preorder books for all classes, simply click "Add to Cart and go to Cart".
- If it is the first time you have been to unlbookstore.com, click "Register" to create your customer profile. Otherwise, simply log in.
- After creating an account or logging in, you will be directed to the Pre-Order Notification page. This is the time to review your cart one last time before submitting. If everything is correct, click "Save Pre-Order Selection and Continue".
- You should receive an email after July 13th telling you that textbooks are available for your classes. At this time you can verify the actual textbooks you wish to purchase for the classes you have signed up for Fall semester. Once you have selected the books check-out.
