Remember to login to your class and start participating right away. Instructors will be taking student attendance the first week and the registrar's office will be doing an administrative drop of students who have not checked in with the instructor and/or completed any assignments by Friday afternoon of the first week of class.

If you cannot login to Brightspace, it may be because you have not verified your picture ID with the Distance Learning department.  This is now a federal requirement and you will not have access to your online class or classes until you do so.  For information call (503) 338-2341 or email Distance Learning.  It could also be that your system password has expired.  To change your system password - you'll need to come to campus and log on to one of the Computer Lab computers.

Brightspace shuts down for system maintenance and upgrades on the second Saturday of each month, from 10:00 pm Saturday - 4:00 am Sunday.  Please be aware that the system will not be available at this time.  Make sure to clear your browsing history during that time to avoid difficulties logging in after the maintenance period.
