Access Your Courses
To access your Brightspace courses, log in at brightspace.carleton.ca using your MC1 credentials. If you have logged in to the system and do not see courses available to you, visit the Course Visibility in Brightspace page. If there is a Closed tag on your Brightspace course, that means that the course end date has passed, but you can still access course content and submit assignments and exams as usual. If you experience any difficulties entering your course or completing final assessments, contact your instructor for assistance.
