Tips for Success

Pin Your Current Courses
When you land on the homepage of the Marist Brightspace, you’ll notice a section titled My Courses beneath the welcome banner. By default, all of your courses with published course sites will appear here. Consider adding a pin to courses you need frequent access to. You can also navigate through courses by semester using the tabs in this section. 

Track Course Progress
As you navigate through content in the course, you can track your progress by clicking Progress under your profile, or using the Class Progress tool, available under “More Tools.” This tool provides a visual indicator of content you have visited.

Get Notification Nudges
Marist Brightspace allows you to customize the notifications that the system sends you related to your courses and other activities. Consider opting in to email and/or SMS (text) notifications for specific items that might slip your mind, such as responding to discussions and submitting assignments.
