Blackboard Students | Location URL/JWT from Assignment Links

As a student, sometimes you will encounter an issue or error with launching Stukent from Blackboard. To help troubleshoot this, our LMS Support team may ask for items called 'Location URL' and 'JWT' information. These items are some of the crucial pieces of troubleshooting. Follow the steps below to obtain that information.

Please find the option below that fits what your instructor has set up for your class.

Option 01: Assignment Launch Link Opens in a New Tab

When you click on the assignment from the Blackboard Content page, determine if it keeps you in Blackboard, or if it opens a new tab with the Stukent launch button (like the example below).

If the Stukent launch button opens in a new tab, copy the URL located at the top in the URL box. (example below). This is what you'll send to Stukent's LMS Support.

Option 02: Assignment Launch Link Stays in Blackboard

If when you click on the assignment from the Blackboard Content page, and it keeps you in Blackboard, you'll want to use the steps in this section depending on which browser you're using. If needed, review the screenshot below to check if your assignment link opens in Blackboard.
