About MyHome

My Home is the main entry page for D2L. It is the first page you see after signing in to D2L. Like the Course Home page, this page contains a News section. However, this News section is controlled by the D2L Support Staff and is used for system announcements. From this central portal, you can:

  • View news posted by D2L administrators
  • Access your courses
  • View information about events
  • Update and change your preferences

Access MyHome

When you first log in to D2L, you are taken to the My Home page. The most important thing about this page is that at the bottom of it you have access to your courses that have chosen to use D2L. Please make sure to click on the plus signs to the left of the Semester and Department names so that you can see your courses. The course list is NOT open by default.

The navigation bar on the top of the Home page is referred to as the My Home navigation bar and contains commonly used links such as Help, Email, Locker, and Logout.

Other features of the My Home page include:

  • Settings: Settings contain links that allow you to customize your preferences, input external email address, change your password, and create or edit a personal homepage. It is important to note that not all settings are available to all users.
  • Events: The information in the Events area is linked to the Calendar tool. You can use this tool to create and view personal and organization-wide events.
  • News: Up and coming events for D2L will be posted in this area by D2L Administrators. Check this section on a regular basis to keep up-to-date on organization-wide news.
  • My Academic Courses: Lists your current D2L courses.
