Get access to your course

Every year in the summer, almost all courses for the new academic year are created in Brightspace. Most of the courses are automatically created from the list of courses in Osiris. When this is ready, Teaching & Learning Support begins with the course copy process. Within this process we copy content from the previous year’s course to the freshly created course for the new academic year. This is not done for all courses. It depends on the faculty and the content of the course. After the course copy is done, Course Managers and/or Instructors are automatically added to a Brightspace course based on information registered in Osiris.

We improve the process of creating courses every year. On the page about the Academic Year Transition you can read what is relevant for your course with regards to the most recent academic year transition.

If you want to create a course, you have two options:

1. Contact your faculty contact person (Programme Coordinator) to add the course in Osiris. When the page is in Osiris, a Brightspace page is automatically created overnight.
2. If the course/organisation needs to be manually created (not linked to Osiris): Contact Teaching & Learning Support.

Course Managers have the administrator rights to enrol others, more information can be found here. They can also assign teaching roles to users, more information about roles can be found here.

When the course is created and you have access to it, you can start setting up your course. This page guides you through this process.

When you are satisfied with your course and want to publish it to your students, you can activate your course. On this page you can find the detailed steps to do so.
