In the Connecticut Community College system, both faculty and staff access Blackboard Vista course management system by first logging into the myCommNet portal, as follows:

1. Go to myCommNet, http://my.commnet.edu, or click the myCommNet link or button from your college's home page.
    
2. Enter your NetID and NetID password (this is the same as what you use to log into any campus machine, or to access your college email).
    
3. Once you have successfully logged into myCommNet, you can either click on the Blackboard Vista icon in the upper right corner of the myCommNet window, OR click on the "faculty" tab, and then click the "Click here to access Blackboard Vista" link.
