Body
The Brightspace companion app (called "
Pulse") does
not have full functionality compared to the
Brightspace site in a web-browser. We strongly recommend using Brightspace through a supported web-browser when using a tablets or smart phone.
Accessing Brightspace on a Mobile Web Browser
- Open your preferred browser (officially supported browsers listed here).
- Go to the MYBUFFSTATE Students page from the Buffalo State home page (BuffaloState.edu > Quick Links menu> MYBUFFSTATE > Students).
- Scroll down until you see the Toolbox section, and choose the Brightspace link.
- Sign in to Brightspace with your Network credentials. Campus logins also require Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
- When looking for a current class, be sure to select the current semester (i.e. BUC - 24SP for Spring Semester 2024)
- From there, it should navigate similarly to the desktop version!
Bonus for Safari Users: Home Screen "app" shortcut
- After successfully signing into Brightspace on your Safari browser and viewing the main landing page, choose Safari's "Share" button (located below the URL bar at the bottom of the screen).
- Scroll down until you find "Add to Home Screen," and then choose it.
- You can rename it to "Brightspace" when prompted.
- It should now be on your Home Screen as an app! This acts as a simple shortcut to get into Brightspace without needing to navigate there each time.
