Many students try to print PowerPoint slides  or Word documents from inside Blackboard.  Doing so may be causing problems depending how the web browser they are using is configured.

They may need to save the PowerPoint presentation OUTSIDE of Blackboard
before sending it to print:

1. Open the Blackboard course and find the PowerPoint presentation or Word document to be printed.
2. Right click on the title of the PowerPoint presentation or Word document.
3. Select SAVE and save the presentation or document to the desktop.
4. Minimize Blackboard.
5. Open the presentation or documentfrom the desktop.
6. Select FILE, and then PRINT from the top menu.
7. A print window will open.
8. For presentations, about two thirds of the way down the print window, find Print what:
   1. Open the drop-down list directly below that and select Handouts.
   2. To the right of that, select the number of slides per page.
9. Then click OK. This will send your project to the printer.

MyUSI is USI’s portal which allows access to multiple products with one easy login.

Blackboard is classified as course management software or courseware.

Both share a few similar features such as chat, announcements, calendar.

The course resources found under myUSI are basic tools delivered with the product, but myUSI is not courseware. If you have already created a Blackboard site for your course, you may choose to add a link for this site under the Course Homepage in myUSI.

If you have not already designed anything for your course under Blackboard and need only basic chat, message board, e-mail, and a way to add links for your course, you may choose to use the Course Resources under myUSI.

If you look closely, the section numbers should be different. In other words, the course title might be the same as well as the course number, but the course section will be different. You are teaching more than one occurrence of this course.

Some functions are only available during certain periods. The Registrar’s Office will control what time periods certain functions are allowed.

Here are instructions for making the myUSI login page your homepage on various web browsers.

On January 29th you will be mailed a 1098T form from USI, which can be used to calculate possible income tax credits. These forms will contain zero dollar amounts in all boxes. Federal regulations do not require that the University provide financial data on your 1098T form. We understand that to complete your tax return you will need financial data.

In order to aid you in calculating what your deduction may be, we have placed all necessary information on myUSI (http://www.usieagles.org). Due to privacy regulations, we are unable to provide this information over the phone or by fax. By signing onto myUSI, you are identifying yourself by using your confidential username and password and are therefore able to obtain your information. Please see the additional 1098T related FAQs that follow this for detailed information on how to find dollar amounts.

If you do not have your myUSI username, you may obtain the same by following the steps listed on the myUSI website. If you have misplaced your password, please contact us at (812)461-5296.

Your Username is a Person Id assigned to you by USI. To determine what your Person Id is, go to: https://www.usi.edu/webservices/lookup/. Your Password is initially a randomly generated 6-digit number assigned to by USI, but may be different if you changed it at any time. Newly admitted students receive this in a letter from the Admissions Office. If you cannot recall what your Password is, go to the USI Computer Center office (in the lower level of the Orr Building) with your picture ID and they will be able to assist you.
