Tips for Students
Is your Instructor using Brightspace?
We encourage all students to read through the tips in the link below!
Student D2L Brightspace Orientation Tutorial
Make sure you download and utilize the Brightspace Mobile App, Pulse
Check your notification settings in Brightspace to ensure you are receiving all necessary information from your courses.
Make sure you select the correct semester under the “My Courses” widget.
If your Instructor says they are using Brightspace and you do not see your course, check that you are enrolled in SOLAR. (It takes approximately 24 hours for a course to appear in Brightspace after registering.)
If you feel you aren't receiving emails and notifications from Brightspace (and notifications are turned on) make sure to check your spam folder.
Reach out to your instructor if you questions about course content, etc!
Download the Pulse App
The Brightspace mobile app is called Pulse. All students should download Pulse to get course notifications, content and much more! It can be downloaded from the Google Play Store.
