Am I required to complete an orientation to Blackboard?

I can't find the information I'm looking for. What do I do next?
If you’re having trouble finding the answers to your questions, you can always reach out to the ASK Desk, which can be reached during business hours year round apart from major holidays and winter break by emailing ask@ualr.edu or calling 501-916-3000.
