Logging In

If it is your first time taking a course with us, you will need to create an account via our Catalog before you will be able to log in. Once you have created your account, you will be automatically signed in.

If you've already created an account, you can log back in via our Catalog. You can access your courses by hovering over My Account and selecting My Courses.

Accessing Your Courses

You can easily find your online courses after logging in to Brightspace from either the Course Selector or the My Courses widget.

Note: If you log into Brightspace and cannot find the course you're looking for, you may not be enrolled in the course. If you cannot find or see a course in Brightspace, contact lms.support.rmphtc@ucdenver.edu for further assistance. If you course is showing as available but cannot be accessed or clicked, your course's Start Date as set by your instructor has not begun and is preventing you from opening the course.

Enrolling in Courses

There are two ways to explore and enroll in courses in RMPHTC Brightspace, based on the type of course. Both can be accessed quickly by clicking "Catalog" on the navigation bar and then choosing one of the two options, as described below.

Asynchronous, free courses are available via the On-Demand Discover tool. Using this tool, you can self-enroll into a course immediately. To learn how to self-enroll, check out Search for Courses and Self-Enroll Using Discover.

All other course offerings can be found and registered for via the Browse All option, which will take you back to the full catalog.

Changing Your Profile and Account Settings

You can keep your personal settings up to date by changing your Profile and Account Settings in Brightspace.

Managing Your Notifications

You can control how you get notifications about activity in your courses. To edit your notification settings, click on your name in the upper right hand corner and choose Notifications from the drop down menu.
