The IAU Blackboard (BB) sign-in link
The official link is vle.iau.edu.sa2, and you sign in with your university account, not a separate Blackboard account. Students also call it BB.
What IAU says about the account and signing in
- The distance-learning student portal shows your university details once you enter your national ID number, and carries the guides and the deanship's contact page.4
The Blackboard app on your phone
The Blackboard app itself is on the App Store and Google Play1. It works with the university's own Blackboard server: pick IAU when it asks for your institution, then sign in with the same university account you use in the browser. Courses, announcements, grades and assignments reach you in it, and the features depend on what the university has switched on.
When sign-in fails
Your Blackboard account is your university account, so a password comes back from the university, not from Blackboard. At IAU that is the IT support desk, linked from the university systems page. Check first that the account is active and that the password is the one that opens the rest of the university's systems.
The rest of IAU: portal and email
The same account opens the academic system and university email. Every sign-in link is on the IAU systems page.
For faculty
The same app serves instructors too: course materials, assessments and student follow-up from the phone1.
After you sign in: student prices for IAU students
A IAU student verifies in tiswa with their university email and opens student prices on devices, software and subscriptions. Every deal is on the IAU student page.
