Mobile Phones & Devices
Blackboard Mobile
Now students can get unlimited access to the Blackboard Mobile Learn app.
The app is available for download in the iTunes App Store for Apple devices and Google Play marketplace for select Android devices. The app costs $1.99 a year, or $5.99 for a lifetime license.
Previously, Blackboard Mobile Learn was free, but it could only be used on wifi or the Sprint network.
To get the app, search for "Blackboard Mobile Learn" in your app store or marketplace. Once you've launched the app, search for "Columbus State Community College" (the app isn't specific to Columbus State.) Log in, and your course information should appear.
(Please note: Not all course content is formatted for mobile.)
With applications designed specifically for each mobile platform, students can check grades and assignments, view documents, create threaded discussion posts and comment on blogs and journals, upload content and view documents, view course rosters and more. Instructors can also post announcements. (Feature Guide by device)

Columbus State offers emergency text message alerts through the Rave system. The system will alert you to school closings and crime alerts, as well as natural disasters and emergencies. Rave is never used for marketing messages.
