Initial Alert:

A small number of users are reporting issues accessing Blackboard. Blackboard is aware of the issue with their hosted service and confirms the issue is resolved for most users.

If users continue to receive errors such as “DNS server error” or “This site cannot be reached” flushing your computer’s DNS cache may help. If this does not work, users can try a different network to access Blackboard – such as a different wifi network, using a cellular hotspot, Mason’s VPN, etc.
