I’ve run into a few common hiccups with UIC Blackboard, and here’s what I did to fix them:

• Login issues – sometimes the system wouldn’t recognize my credentials. I double-checked my NetID and password and cleared my browser cache, which usually fixed it.
• Slow loading or missing content – some pages took forever to load. Switching to Google Chrome or Firefox instead of Safari, and making sure the browser was updated, helped a lot.
• Assignment upload problems – files wouldn’t attach. I made sure my file size and format met the course requirements and tried uploading during off-peak hours.
• Notification settings – I wasn’t getting course alerts. I went into Settings → Notifications and made sure email and push alerts were enabled.

Most problems were browser-related or account-related, and a quick cache clear, browser switch, or checking file limits solved them.

I experienced login issues and slow page loading on UIC Blackboard. I resolved them by clearing my browser cache, switching to Chrome, and contacting UIC tech support for further assistance.
