When you log into The Zone with your W number and PIN, click the Blackboard tab at the top, then click the link on the left to access Blackboard. The first time you do this, The Zone will take you to an External Account Synchronization page where you need to enter your Blackboard password in order to synchronize Blackboard with The Zone. Click Save Account Information after you do this.
From now on, each time you enter The Zone with your W number and PIN and click the Blackboard link, you will be taken directly to your My Institution page in Blackboard where you can access your courses. The only exception is if you change your password in Blackboard; in this case, The Zone will again ask for your Blackboard password.
First-time Blackboard users
If you have not used Blackboard before, your Blackboard password is the first two letters of your first name, followed by the first two letters of your last name (all lowercase), followed by the last four digits of your User Identification (“W”) Number.
For example, Maria Tina Valdez with a User Identification Number of W98765432 would log into Blackboard as:
Username: W98765432
Password: mava5432 (all lowercase letters + last four digits)
Accessing Blackboard directly
You can bypass The Zone to log into Blackboard directly by going to http://clpccd.blackboard.com or by going to the college web site and following the links to the Blackboard login page. If you’ve used Blackboard previously, your login information will still work. If you are new to Blackboard, use the login format above, then change your password in Blackboard by clicking Personal Information on your My Institution page, then click Change Password. Enter a new password, verify it, and click Submit.
