Missing courses

Why can't I find one or more of my courses?

First, please use the My Courses widget on the My Home page to try to locate your missing course or courses. New courses won't automatically appear at or near the top of your list in the blue minibar's course selector, so it's easier to find new courses using the My Courses widget.

Students

Please check the following:

• Have you officially registered for, or added, the course?
  more If you have not yet officially registered for the course, or if you've received permission from the course instructor to add the course but not yet submitted that addition, then you will not be enrolled in the D2L course. Please submit your registration or addition.
• Does the course use D2L?
  more Not all courses at Millersville use D2L. Your course instructor may have decided not to use D2L for your course or may be waiting until later in the semester to begin using D2L. Please contact your course instructor to confirm D2L is being used for your course.
• Have thirty-six hours passed since you registered for, or added, the course?
  more Millersville's Banner student information system sends updated course registration data to D2L once a day. Due to data processing delays, it may take up to thirty-six hours from the time you register for, or add, a course for you to be enrolled into the course in D2L.
• Are you a student teacher?
  more Banner does not send enrollment information to D2L for student teaching courses. Instead, your instructor will add you to the course. Please contact your instructor if you have questions about being enrolled in a student teaching D2L course.
• Are you a Master of Social Work student from Shippensburg?
  more Enrollment information for Shippensburg MSW students in Millersville D2L classes comes from Shippensburg's, not Millersville's, student information system. This can create an additional delay. Please contact Millersville's Help Desk if you have questions or need assistance.
• Are you a Millersville faculty or staff member taking a D2L course?
  more By default, the My Courses widget on your D2L My Home page displays the courses in which you are enrolled as an instructor. Click the "Student" tab at the top of the My Courses widget to see the courses in which you are enrolled as a student.

Faculty and Staff

Please check the following:

• Have you requested your course?
  more D2L course shells are not automatically created for every course. You must request D2L course shells for your courses before they will be created in D2L.
• Have thirty-six hours passed since you requested your course?
  more Millersville's Banner student information system sends updated course data to Desire2Learn once a day. Due to data processing delays, it may take up to thirty-six hours from the time you request a course in MAX for the shell to be created inside D2L.
  Student teaching courses, and other special, non-MAX requests must be processed manually, so the time it takes for them to be completed varies. In most cases, they will be created by the end of the next business day.
• Are you a Millersville faculty or staff member taking a D2L course?
  more By default, the My Courses widget on your D2L My Home page displays the courses in which you are enrolled as an instructor. Click the "Student" tab at the top of the My Courses widget to see the courses in which you are enrolled as a student.
