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 added automatically 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 made.
2. If the course/organisation needs to be manually created (not linked to Osiris): Contact Teaching & Learning Support.

Lectures can get access to a course by being enrolled in it. This goes automatically, if you are listed as Course Manager/Instructor in Osiris. 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 page is created and you have access to your course, you can start setting up your course. This page guides you how to do this.

When you are satisfied with your page and want students to see the information, you can set your page to active and your content to visible. This page explains how you can do this.
