Messages

You can send messages to your instructors, other classmates, and group members. Messages activity remains inside the system, and you don't have to worry about email addresses that may be incorrect or outdated.

Best Practice

Some professors prefer that you send them an email directly instead of using the Messages tab in Blackboard. It may help to click the Send an email copy checkbox to ensure that your professor receives the message via Blackboard and their email.
