1. Access Your Course Grades
  2. Review Your Class Progress

Students can access course grades in D2L Brightspace through the Grades tool or through the Class Progress tool. Grade availability depends on how the instructor has set up grade items and assessment, as well as whether the instructors are ready to reveal grades to students. It is possible your instructor may not use the Brightspace Grades tool to display grades to students. If you are unsure how you will receive your course grades or if you have questions about the grade you received or your grade availability, contact your course instructor directly.

Watch the video below for an overview of how to access course grades and feedback in Brightspace:
