Morris Brown College uses D2L Brightspace as its official Learning Management System to support teaching, learning, and academic operations. Brightspace provides students, faculty, and staff with centralized access to course materials, assignments, grades, and course communications. Faculty and staff can access guidance on course management, instructional tools, and available technical support, including the use of approved third-party integrations. Students can view their current and upcoming term courses and access academic resources designed to support their success throughout the semester.
Faculty & Staff may find detailed information about course availability, account access, and updates to the D2L system and related technologies in the D2L Information for Faculty & Staff section.
Courses that have been assigned to instructors in Populi will be available in D2L within 24 hours of being assigned, once the initial course load for the term has occurred. The initial course load happens about a month before the start of term and is announced to instructors by the Department Chair.
If courses for the term have been loaded and you do not see your course, please check with your department to be sure you are the instructor of record in Populi.
Please note that students may access courses from the published course start date until the end of the next term. Please note the start dates for 8-Week academic terms.
If you need additional assistance, please visit the contact the Registrar.
Courses will be available to instructors in D2L Brightspace approximately one month prior to the start of term. If needed, you may request a course shell for sandbox usage using the Course Shell Request Form.
Note for new faculty: accounts are created in D2L at the same time that courses are loaded so you will not be able to log in to D2L until approximately one month prior to the start of term.

New Students
New students registered for an upcoming term will not have an account in D2L Brightspace until courses for the upcoming term are loaded into D2L, approximately one month before the start of term.

All Morris Brown College students are issued an official student email account, which serves as the primary method of communication for academic and institutional matters. Your Brightspace notifications, course announcements, faculty communication, and important College updates are connected to your student email. Students are responsible for checking their MBC email regularly and ensuring their account remains active and accessible. Missing information sent to your official student email does not exempt you from deadlines or academic responsibilities.
To protect your academic records and personal information, Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) is required for access to your student email and connected systems, including Brightspace. Students must complete MFA setup when prompted and contact servicedesk@morrisbrown.edu immediately if they experience login issues or receive unexpected verification requests.
