For students: All courses are entered in Brightspace, but instructors need to activate the course before students can access it. Online courses open one week before the start of the semester/session. Other courses will be accessible as soon as the instructor opens the course, if the instructor chooses to use Brightspace for the course.  For instructors: Brightspace automatically creates course shells once your name has been entered into Banner for the course (it can take up to 24 hours to update). If you do not see your course listed on your homepage, please contact your department secretary to check/update Banner.
