Did you just finish your first semester at MSUM and still have not set up your D2L login? Well, then this article is for you. Many MSUM students struggle with setting up their D2L account during the first week of classes every semester because it’s a little different from other online courses. The MSUM D2L Login is different from most other courses because it requires you to set up a username and password that you will use in the future. Don’t worry, we will walk you through each step so that by the end of this article, you will be ready to log into your account and begin using D2L again. Read on to find out more!

What is the D2L?

The D2L is the “Desire to Learn” website used by the Minnesota State University Moorhead to track grades, manage assignments, and host online discussions for students across all majors. The D2L is used for all online classes offered by the MSUM and is where you will go to access your class materials. The D2L login can be used to view all of your grades, assignments, discussions, course syllabi, and more. D2L has replaced all of the old online systems that were used to do this before, so all of your online classes will be using D2L. D2L is a Moodle-based learning management system that is used to support and enhance the MSUM online experience. It is a system that helps instructors and students track progress, post assignments and communicate with each other. The system also allows students to review their grades and progress toward a degree. It may sound confusing now but the more you use it, the easier it will become.

Create Your MSUM D2L Account

You will need to create a D2L account before you can log in to the system. While it is possible to log into the system without setting up an account, it is not recommended. This is because there are many features and tools on the D2L that require you to have a login. You also need to have a login to access your grades and assignments. There are two ways to create an MSUM D2L account. You can do it from the comfort of your home or dorm room or you can do it in-person at the MSUM Student Success Center. Once you have decided where to create your login, you will need to provide some information about yourself. You will need to enter your name, email address, password, and a few other pieces of information.

Can’t Log In to D2L? Don’t Worry!

If you have tried creating your login and still cannot log in to the site, don’t worry. There are a handful of reasons why you might be having trouble. You should first make sure that you’re using the correct login information. This includes your username, email address, and password. These are the three most common reasons why students cannot log in to D2L. If you’ve correctly entered your login information, you should try logging out of D2L, closing your browser (or the entire computer if you’re on a public computer), and then logging back in. It is also possible that your login has been disabled. If you have recently failed a class, this is likely the cause of your login issues. The Student Success Center can be contacted if you have any questions regarding this.

How to log in to D2L for the first time

Now that you have created your login, you can log in to the D2L site. The first time you log into the site, there will be an option to create a new account or to log in with an existing account. If you have already created your login, you can log in by choosing the “existing account” option. Enter your username and password and press the “Log in” button. Once you have successfully logged into the D2L site, you will be taken to your homepage. Your homepage will display your name, the courses that you are currently enrolled in, and any other information that the instructor has chosen to display.

What Happens After You Log In To D2L for the First Time?

Now that you have successfully logged in to the D2L site, it is time to get to work. The first thing you should do is read your syllabus. Your syllabus is the document that outlines all of your course requirements and expectations. It will let you know what assignments you need to work on first and when they are due. Once you have read through your syllabus and know what needs to be done, you can log into your “Assignments” tab to begin. The assignments tab is where you will see all of the graded assignments that you have submitted to your professor. You can also see any pending assignments that you have yet to submit.

MSUM Course Requests and Registration with D2L

After you have successfully logged in to the D2L site, you will want to visit the “Course Requests” tab. This tab will allow you to request the courses you would like to take for the upcoming semester. The Course Requests tab will remain open from August 1 until August 31. You will have to visit this tab during this time to request the courses you would like to take next semester. If you wait until the last day to request the courses you want, there is a chance that you will not get the ones that you want. Many students wait until the last day to request their courses so wait until the last minute to make sure you get the courses you want.

Conclusion

The D2L login is different from most other courses because it requires you to set up a username and password that you will use in the future. Don’t worry, we will walk you through each step so that by the end of this article, you will be ready to log into your account and begin using D2L again.
