For information about Rhode Island College's emergency notification system, please go to http://www.ric.edu/Emergency-Management/Pages/default.aspxStep 2: Campus ID Card
Campus ID Card
Your Campus Card identifies you as a member of the student body at RIC. You need it to access library resources, to enter secure locations, such as the dorms. You may also use your Campus Card as a debit card for vending machines, copiers and printers; and for your meal plans at Donovan Dining Center.
Campus Card Office is located in the Student Union. They will issue your Student ID card after verifying your identity and student status at the college.

Student MyRIC/Network Account Information
FAQ:
Can I change my account name?
Usernames (account names) cannot be modified unless your name changes legally through marriage, divorce or other legal procedures.
Step 5: Blackboard
Blackboard is a popular Course Management System for accessing course assignments, quizzes, and handouts.
Logging on:
http://blackboard.ric.edu
- Blackboard ID: Same password as your RIC email/network password
- Password: Same password as your RIC email/network password
If you cannot log in with the password you probably need to reset your password in password station. Go to https://passwordstation.ric.edu plug in your ID and click on forgot password - it will ask you a couple of personal questions (social, birthdate etc.) and then for your new password. When you're done with that try logging into Blackboard again and it should work.
If for some reason it doesn't work (gives you an error) you can go to the FrontDesk at Horace Mann Tech Center and the Student Lab Monitors will fill out a form for you so that the administrator can change the password for you (they will also try changing it again with you there -it might help). This password change also changes the password for your RIC email account and your password to log into the computers at school as well.
