I am a new staff member, how do I access Blackboard?

To access Blackboard, you use your Trinity computer account username and password to login at http://mymodule.tcd.ie. Note that it can take up to 48 hours after registering with HR before you can gain access to Blackboard.

Staff who are entitled to use the IT services in Trinity will be provided with a Trinity computer account username and an initial password after they have been registered by HR. You can also obtain these details by calling into the IT Service Desk and presenting your Trinity ID card. If HR and/or IT Services cannot provide you with a username and password then your School Office may need to contact HR to ensure you have been setup with the appropriate HR pay scale or visitor code, to make sure you are entitled to a Trinity computer account.

I cannot login to mymodule.tcd.ie – what should I do?

First check if you can access other Trinity College websites, such as http://elib.tcd.ie, using the same Trinity username and password as you are using to login to http://mymodule.tcd.ie. If you cannot access other Trinity services then you will need to reset your password as follows:

Students - go to our webpage for information on changing your password or call in person to the IT Service Desk.
Staff - You can reset your password with the Microsoft 365 self-service password reset tool or call in person to the IT Service Desk.

If you can login to other Trinity services, but can still not login at http://mymodule.tcd.ie, then please contact the IT Service Desk who will help to determine what the root of the issue is.
