Expanding the Course List

If you are unable to see your courses for the current or past semesters, you may need to expand the course list for the term or department you are looking for.  Clicking on the two gray expand arrows to the right of the semester or department should allow you to view them (see below).

OU Number

When an instructor calls or emails either the UWM Learning Technology Center or the UWM Help Desk for assistance, the person answering the phone will often ask for the course's "O. U. Number."


The "O. U. Number" is a shortcut that allows us to quickly find your D2L site.

You will find the course O. U. Number in your browser's address bar, at the very very end of the URL, just after the text that says, "ou=".

How to Find Your UWM D2L Course Sites

Courses are listed in the My Courses area by semester, with the newest semester at the top.

Want to see fewer courses in your My Courses list?

• To show or hide all your courses for a particular semester, click the "double arrow" icon to the right of the semester name.

• To save, click on any course title.

NOTES: 

1. Users with more than one Role in D2L (e.g., "Instructor"-and- "Enrolled Student"), must first choose the appropriate Role tab.  
2. Cross-listed courses will appear as a listing under each department; please compare the last 6 digits of the URL (the "OU number") -- it is a single course site if the OU number is the same for each listing.
3. FOR INSTRUCTORS: step-by-step instructions for seeing fewer course sites within a particular semester.

*Still* can't find your D2L course sites?  Or perhaps your D2L site doesn't combine your classes in they way you'd like?  Please let us know! Sometimes the humans at the Learning Technology Center just don't guess correctly (based on the online schedule) which classes and sections should be combined into single D2L course sites.


If this is the case, please gather all the essential information (including the exact section number/s -- please don't guess, or you could end up with the wrong students!) and fill out the web-based UWM D2L Course Site Request form you'll find at: http://www.uwm.edu/Dept/LTC/d2lrequest.html

Your D2L course site will usually be available within 24 hours, and student enrollments will normally happen overnight.
