Accessing your Online Course

APSU Online courses require you to logon with a username and password.  Usernames and passwords are assigned automatically by Austin Peay State University.  If you have trouble logging in to your online course, feel free to email blackboard_admin@apsu.edu.

The APSU Online courses begin according to dates found on the APSU Academic Calendar.  Your username and password will be activated the first day of class. 

Your username and password for Blackboard will be:

• Username

  Your new username will be composed of the first initial of your first name, followed by your full last name and then ending in a sequence number.  You must look up this sequence number in APWeb for Students.

  Your new campus email and Blackboard usernames are the same.  To view your username:

  1. Browse to APWeb for Students (https://apweb.apsu.edu)
  2. Click "Registration, Financial aid, Housing, Grades, APmail address, etc"
  3. Login using your Student ID and 4 digit PIN
  4. Click the "Email Addresses/Personal Web Page" link
  5. Look for the "Type: Campus Email" section.  Your username is the portion preceding the "@apmail.student.apsu.edu".

  • Example (your sequence number may not be 14, you must look this number up in APWeb for Students):

    • "Type: Campus Mail" = jsmith14@apmail.apsu.edu
    • Username = jsmith14
       
• Password
  Your full SSN serves as your initial password. Please type this, with no spaces, hyphens or slashes, into the Password box of http://onlinecourses.apsu.edu.

  We ask that you change your password as soon as possible.  You can do this by browsing to: http://apmail.student.apsu.edu/chg_pwd/.  Remember that this will change your password for Blackboard and for APmail.
