Course: Career Communication

D2L Email

In D2L, the email account is internal. This means you can access your D2L email when logged into D2L and from any course you're logged into. However, you cannot access, send, or receive email outside of D2L (such as sending an email to your instructor's emergency non-D2L email, Gmail, Yahoo, AOL, Hotmail, etc.)

The easiest and fastest way to send an email to your classmates and/or instructor is through the Classlist.

Sending an Email

1. On Course NavBar, click Classlist

2. Click the name of the person you want to email

3. The Compose New Message window will open addressed to your selected person. Enter your course and the topic of your email in the Subject field and your message and your full name in the Message box. Note: It is very important to include your course in the subject line and your full name in the message to any email you send your instructor.

Attaching a File to an Email Message

1. If you want to attach a file to the email you are sending, scroll to the bottom of the Compose New Message window and in the Attachments section, click Upload.

2. The File Upload dialog box will open. Navigate to the file you want to attach, select the file and then click Open

3. Wait for the file to attach and then you are ready to send the email. Note: The file size limit for an attachment is 5 MB and the total size of all attached files cannot be over 6 MB.

Reading an Email
