To help save time, use the forms below to request help with common D2L tasks:
-
Quiz Request Form - Draft your quiz using a template and submit it for an instructional technology specialist to place in your course.
-
Other D2L Requests - Copy course content, combine courses, request a course or add TAs.
- Tip: Do you have a D2L Sandbox to experiment with? Sandboxes allow you to experiment with D2L features in a course that does not have any students enrolled in it. If you don’t have one yet, request one by completing the
course creation request form and put “D2L Sandbox” in the Course Name box.
Request help with building out and/or updating the contents of a course.
Watch a video overview of the form here.
The tables below provide deadlines for completing a request. The turnaround time for a CAD request is two weeks. Requests submitted before the listed deadline will be completed prior to term start.
Note: Requests submitted after the deadline cannot be guaranteed by the start of the term. Requests are handled in the order they are received.
