Introduction
All SUNY Empire students have access to the university's Learning Management System (LMS) Brightspace to use during their studies. Students can login using their SUNY Empire credentials (full email address and current password). The steps below will show you how to get access Brightspace to get started.
Accessing Brightspace
- Navigate to: https://brightspace.esc.edu.
- Select the Network Login option on the login page.
- Enter your SUNY Empire username and password.
- Note: if prompted to select your campus from the drop-down, you will choose Empire State.
- Click Login. You should now be brought to the Empire State University Brightspace dashboard.
- Please Note: Users must use a Brightspace supported browser for the best experience, and/or clear the browser cache to complete sign on.
- If users see a login page indicating "Network login,"" they can use this page to log back into Brightspace if you have logged out of Brightspace or your account has timed out (e.g., been inactive for an extended period).
How do I find my courses?
From the Brightspace dashboard when you first login:
- Scroll down to the "My Courses" widget.
- Select the course you want to begin.
- Please Note: Brightspace opens with the last filtered category used to search for a course. Users may need to select the "All" category/filter to find a new course they have been enrolled to.
