Activating Spring D2L Courses
Course instructors please remember that the BOR Academic Affairs Council adopted a new policy that went into effect
beginning with the 2014 fall semester regarding students receiving 30 days early access to their D2L courses. The 30‐day
preview window for students in next semester’s classes will begin December 11. It is important to note that this
pertains only to accessing materials through D2L.
Faculty should not make any assignments due prior to the first day of the term. The specific purpose for this access is
to ease the startup process for students.
Once the semester begins, the students can focus on the course itself, and not on resolving technical or procedural
issues.
Campuses are asked to monitor instructor compliance. However, instructors are not mandated to permit students early
access.
Two factors determine when a student can access a course in D2L:
1. The adjusted start date (December 11, 2015) has been reached
Dec. 12
Commencement

2. The course has been activated by the instructor
The start dates of courses will automatically be changed in D2L to 30 days prior to the first day of the semester.
Instructors control when students actually can access their courses by when they activate them. That being the case,
student service offices (IT, registration, advising, etc.) will direct any student questions about early access to a course
to the respective instructor.
Please let Dr. Custer or Terry Hupp know if you have any questions.
