Getting Started
FAQs for Students
There can be a number of reasons that your course does not appear in D2L.
- Always check UAccess to make sure that you are enrolled at the UA (or have not been dropped from the course).
- Most courses are hidden until the first day of classes. If you have questions about the course, please contact the instructor or wait for the course to open.
- You can collapse the semester heading by clicking on it, causing your courses to "disappear". Please make sure you semester has been expanded.
- If other members of the course can see it, but you still do not have access, please contact us at con-servicedesk@email.arizona.edu and we will make sure you get into your course.
