There are just days when things are not working according to plan. Blackboard is a complex piece of software with a lot of moving parts. If just one variable is not correct, it can appear that it is not working properly. Sometimes, you just need help.
While we encourage faculty to know as much as possible about the tools you use, we do not expect you to troubleshoot problems as a profession. There are others dedicated to the role.
So, when you or one of your students is having a problem with Blackboard or another piece of technology, we would like to hear from you immediately. The sooner we are aware of a problem, the sooner we can start working on a solution for you.
Your first step is to contact the JCC Helpdesk. Contact the JCC Helpdesk for help with logging into JCC services like the MyJCC portal (student email), and Banner Self-service (registration, official grades, etc.)
- 1-800-388-8557 or 716-338-1122, or campus phone ext. 1122
- Hours: M-F 8:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.
- Email: JCCHelpdesk@mailsunyjcc.edu
- Web: https://JCCHelpdesk.sunyjcc.edu
