Top Tips for Students
- Make sure you select the correct semester under the “My Courses” widget.
- If 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 have questions about course content, etc!
