Faculty Instructions for viewing a student's badge

Have you taken the course or integrated it into your class curriculum? We'd love to hear about it! Please email integrity@ to help us understand how the course is being used by Faculty-- suggestions for improvement are always welcome!

Once students have access to D2L they can access the Discover tool and can register for the APA Style Course, even if they do not yet have access to the course site of their registered classes.

Students have access to D2L approximately 30 days before the start of their classes if they are registered for at least one course.

Exceptions to this include:

• waitlisted students who are not added to the system until they are fully registered in at least one course
• students with missing information (for example a missing first or last name).
