LaGuardia Community College is transitioning from Blackboard to Brightspace, a new learning management system designed to enhance your learning experience. This page provides key resources and tips to help you get started, navigate the platform, and succeed in your courses.
Getting Started with Brightspace
To begin using Brightspace, you will need to log in using your CUNYfirst credentials. Please note that if you are enrolled in courses for the semester, you may not have access to your classes in Brightspace until the first day of the semester.
