When do students receive access to D2L and their D2L courses?

• Most students will receive access to D2L three weeks before the start of their first semester during our 7:00 AM, 10:00 AM, 1:00 PM, and 4:00 PM enrollment. 
  • However, they will not have access to their D2L courses when they receive access to D2L. 
• Students will not be able to access their courses until the course's instructor activates the course, which might not be until a day or two before the class starts.
