Use a supported device and a supported browser

If you are having trouble accessing part of Blackboard or getting an error message inside of blackboard, the first question Blackboard Support will ask you is what device and browser are you using? Using a non-supported browser or device will cause errors. This has always been true but more so since the Blackboard Ultra update in the Spring of 2025. Using Safari or Microsoft Edge will cause errors. Some links won't open, some pages won't display correctly. This is also true if you use a mobile device such as a phone, android tablet, iPad, or a Chromebook.


I am using a supported device and a supported browser

If you are using a supported device and a supported browser, but you are still getting blackboard errors, you will need to contact Blackboard Support and copy your instructor on the message.
