I'm having trouble logging into D2L.

You may not be able to access D2L until the first day of class. If you're still having trouble when class starts, make sure you're using the correct username. If you don't know your username, ask your instructor to provide it to you.

My 2-factor authentication isn't working, and/or I can't reset my D2L password.

You may need to contact the D2L helpdesk for assistance.

• Monday-Friday, 8AM-5PM: USG eCampus Helpdesk: ecore@ecampus.usg.edu or 678-839-5300 or Toll Free 1-855-93ECORE
• After-hours technical support: D2L Help Center 24 hours a day/7 days a week at D2Lhelp.view.usg.edu or Toll Free 1-855-772-0423.

I don't know where my class is.

Look for a welcome email from emma.smith@usg.edu. This should include all the location information you need. Don't see one in your inbox or spam folder? Reach out and let her know!

I don't know how to attend my virtual class.

There should be information in your D2L class page about how to attend virtually. If you can't find it there, reach out to your instructor directly for help.
