Blackboard enables you to send email (with attachments) to your instructor and classmates from within your course site. All email sent to you from within Blackboard will go to your FSU email account.

To send email with an attachment from within your Blackboard course site,

1. Click on Communication-->Send Email. Choose one of the available options:

2. Enter the Subject of your email and the Message.

3. Click on the Add button.

4. Click on the Browse button. Locate and double-click on the file you want to attach to the email message.

5. Click on the Submit button located at the lower right corner of the screen. You will get a "Receipt" notifying you that your email was successfully sent.

Note: To read email sent by class participants from within Blackboard, access the messages the same way you normally do—outside the Blackboard environment. You can access your FSU email account on the Web at http://studentmail.frostburg.edu/exchange. Your username is the same as your Blackboard username. The default password for new FSU email accounts is (all one string, lowercase): first 3 digits of your social security number, followed by your last name, followed by the last 4 digits of your social security number.
