Seneca Blackboard is the College’s one-stop online resource providing access to course materials, the option to look up resources, and the tools to communicate with teachers and other students.
Utilizing portal technology, My Seneca college blackboard is customizable so that students can get just the information that they want.
My Seneca blackboard is available to all students of the college on-site and remotely. Your courses will only display after your teacher has made them available to students and not until the first day of class.
