Q: Why isn’t my log-in working?
A: The login password is not the same as D2L. You may already have an account and password if you have ever booked an appointment with the Student Success Center, Online Advising, the Modern Language Resource Center, or the MARC.
If you can’t remember your password there is a “reset password link” at the bottom of the scheduling appointment page.
