The Nipissing Student ID Number

Your Blackboard CE User Name and Password are BOTH based on the Nipissing ID number provided in the Registration Confirmation you should have received from the Registrar's Office.

If you have misplaced this letter and cannot remember your ID number, you can go to WebAdvisor and under the User Account heading, select What's my User ID?

If the WebAdvisor utility does not help, or you have not received the letter at all, please call: 705-474-3450 x. 4521 or message: registrar@nipissingu.ca.

The user name/password syntax for online courses is as follows:

User Name = your Nipissing ID number MINUS any preceding zeros

Password = the User Name PLUS the first three (3) letters of your last name - all lowercase - added to the end

Example User Names and Passwords

Student ID User Name Password
Robert Jones 00123456 123456 123456jon
Ami Trent-Jones 0259077 259077 259077tre
NOTE: If your User Name is limited to four digits, then add the first four letters of your last name. Blackboard CE requires (minimum) 8-character passwords.
