D2L course sites are made active to students 7 days before a semester/session starts. Course sites become inactive five weeks into the next regular semester.
Instructors sometimes deactivate a site, making it invisible to students, while they work on the site. If you do not see a D2L site, please contact the instructor. You can find instructor information in your UAcces Student Center (opens in new tab) or in the UArizona Phonebook (opens in new tab).
