Send E-Mail
Students can send email to the instructor, other students, groups
or all users within the specific course. Email is sent from the
Blackboard system but uses the individual's email provider. Students
must have an up-to-date email address in the SDSU WebPortal to send
and receive email through Blackboard. Email addresses are suppressed,
which means that students will not see other students' email addresses.
Email can be sent from the My SDSU page as well as from the Communication
section of each course.
From My SDSU:
- Click on Send E-mail link in the Tools box.
- Click on the name of the course.
- Choose the group to send email to.
- Fill in Subject and Message fields.
- Add Attachments if desired.
- Scroll down to the bottom of the page and click on the Submit
button.
From Within a Course:
- Click on the Communication button.
- Click on Send E-mail link.
- Choose the group to send email to.
- Fill in Subject and Message fields.
- Add Attachments if desired.
- Scroll down to the bottom of the page and click on the Submit
button.

Q: I have a Hotmail account and have not been receiving mail
from my instructor, what's wrong?
A: Blackboard sends mail using the Bcc; field to
ensure user privacy. Some email providers, including Hotmail do
not accept this type of email as a way of limiting spam. There are
three possible solutions. The first is to get another email account,
like a Rohan account, or Yahoo. The second solution is to change
the preferences in your Hotmail account. Finally, if the sender
checks the "Send Copy of Message to self" box when sending
email, it may be received by Hotmail.
