On your Brightspace course page, there will be a link called RedShelf. Your course materials are usually available by clicking the RedShelf link, other times your instructor will have a link to the course materials directing you to the publisher's page. Instructors typically make the course available on Blackboard the week before classes start, but that period will vary.
For the winter 2025 session, you have one week from the start of your course to opt-out. For the spring 2025 semester, you have until Friday, February 14th to opt-out. Please talk with your instructor before opting out.
