Got Questions?

I have in-person classes, but I don’t know where my classroom is? How do I find it?

Please reference BSU’s Campus Map .

Who do I contact if I have technology issues?

If you have issues with any one of your devices, contact IT Services located in the bottom floor of the library. Call them at 508.531.2555 or email them at itsupport@bridgew.edu.

What do I do if Blackboard crashes on me?

If Blackboard crashes while you are in a session — please contact IT Services at 508.531.2555 or email them at itsupport@bridgew.edu.

Who do I contact if I need to update my class schedule?

Before updating your class schedule, you should FIRST contact your designated advisor and discuss any changes with them first.

If you are withdrawing from a course AFTER the add/drop you would go to the Registrar's Bridgenet site and fill out the “Course Withdrawal Form.” You can call them at 508.531.1231 or email them at registration@bridgew.edu between the hours of 8 a.m.-5 p.m., Monday-Friday.

If you are changing a class DURING add/drop then you simply can go to InfoBear and add or drop a class yourself in the Add/Drop Class feature. The registrar's office will then withdraw the course from your account, only AFTER you submit the add/drop request.

What happens if I can’t get into my class?

If you are having issues getting into your online class, you should email your professor immediately to let them know that you are having issues. If the issue persists — you should contact IT Services for assistance at 508.531.2555 or email them at itsupport@bridgew.edu.

What do I do if the professor does not show up to my class session?

If your professor doesn’t show up to a scheduled class section, make sure to check your email and/or syllabus to see if the class was canceled. If not, check to make sure you're using the correct link. If you are using the correct link and have the correct time, make sure to email your professor and stay on the call until they show or until the end of the designated class time.

If you have in-person courses, please stay at your location until your professor shows up, until you receive communication from them canceling the course or until the end of the designated class time.

When should I get to my class?

For both in-person and virtual classes, you should arrive to your class at least 5-10 minutes early. If you have trouble finding your in-person class, please reference the BSU Campus Map first, then email your professor if you are still having trouble.

How long do I have to get to my class?

Each class has a designated start time. You should be at your class at that start time. If you are having issues getting into your class, email your professor and contact IT Services for assistance at 508.531.2555 or email them at itsupport@bridgew.edu.

TIP: Plan to be ready to join class 10 minutes prior to the start of class. This is a good time management practice that will leave you with time if you run into any issues and give you a chance to acclimate to your schedule without stressing due to tardiness.
