Sending Emails Through Brightspace

You can email students in your classes from within Brightspace using the email tool available under Classlist. Students also have the option of emailing other students using this tool, unless you have removed the Classlist tool from the course navbar.

To email students, go to the Classlist tool, which is located under the Tools tab in the default course navbar. Note: If you have made changes to the course navbar, you may need to navigate to Course Admin to locate Classlist.
