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 fall 2024 semester, you have until Monday, September 16th to opt out. Please talk with your instructor before opting out if the included materials constitute a portion of your grade.
