2. Sign in with your WUR account, password, and multi-factor authentication (if needed)
3. Click on the message 'D2L Brightspace requires your consent'. In most cases, Brightspace recognizes you because of your WUR sign-in on the app. If not, you need to click on accept.

 

Step 3: Take a tour through the app

The app will guide you through your study by informing you about your personal schedule, your courses (via Brightspace), and your grades (via Osiris). It will show you the news of each day and inform you by way of important messages from the WUR. Find out what the different options mean to you in your studies. Introduction to myWURtoday
