SUNY Buffalo State College is transitioning its Learning Management System — the tool you use to access your course materials (Blackboard Learn) will change to Desire2Learn (D2L) Brightspace. Beginning in the Fall 2022 semester, some courses will use the new system, and in J-Term 2023 and then fully in Spring 2023 course materials will be accessed on Brightspace. This change is part of a SUNY-wide initiative to provide a consistent environment for student learning across the SUNY system.
