How do I login to Blackboard Ultra?
You can login using https://learn.bu.edu.
How can I change my personal information?
Click your name in the base navigation menu on the left side of the page. You can adjust your personal information on your profile page.
What is the “Activity Stream”?
It shows you your upcoming assignments and events as well as updates for when an instructor adds something new to the course.
I want to change my notification settings for the Activity Stream. How can I do so?
Click “Activity Stream” on the left side of the page. Click the gear icon at the top-right of your screen and adjust the notification settings.
How can I change the view of my “Courses” page so I can only see courses I am currently taking?
Click the star button on the right side of the course you’re taking to add it to your ‘Favorites’ which will always appear at the top of the list. To avoid seeing courses already completed, click “Courses” on the left of the page. Then, click the arrow next to “Current Courses” at the top of the screen and choose a semester from the drop-down menu options. This view can then be further specified with the “Filter” drop-down menu just below.
How can I view my detailed grades?
Click “Grades” on the left side of the page. Then, click on the grade bubble that displays your overall grade. If your instructor has provided detailed grades, you will now be able to view them.
