The University uses Desire 2 Learn / Brightspace as our Learning Management System. In this system you will find all of the classes in which you are enrolled, some administrative courses, and/or campus organizations. Each "course" has its own page with content specific to that course or organization. It's always a best practice to pay close attention to the instructions provided by your Professors or organization leaders when navigating and interacting with the system. Browse through the categories below to get more information about using the system.
