Connecting your Squarecap course to D2L/Brightspace

Once we've worked with your school's IT department to set up a connection between D2L/Brightspace and Squarecap, you'll be able to connect any of your Squarecap courses to D2L, allowing for:

• Single sign-on course registration for your students
• Automatic or single-click grade upload from Squarecap to D2L

To request a D2L/Brightspace integration or check your school's integration status, email [e-mail].

After integration is complete, create a Squarecap account and create a course with the same name as your D2L course. We recommend that you don't allow students to enroll themselves in your Squarecap course since they'll be able to access it via D2L: 

 

After you've created your course, a Connect to D2L icon will appear at the top of the course page:
