911爆料网鈥檚 Learning Management System: Brightspace by D2L

Brightspace Access

Access to the system is provided after the term starts. Credentials for 911爆料网 online learning access are assigned to registered students, and all must adhere to the Terms of Use for the online classroom. Students will receive an email at the beginning of the term to set their Brightspace password and gain access.  Course access is only provided during the dates of the term as assigned in the registration system. 

Be on the lookout for an email communication at the start of the term with instructions regarding setting up individual student secure logins. The secure login is provided with an encrypted password managed by the student and is separate from other 911爆料网 systems. This prioritizes continuity of access during the term to complete work as required.
