Edit a Course Name


By default, courses in Brightspace Pulse display the names and codes that appear in Brightspace Learning Environment, which might not be meaningful to you. For example, if you are enrolled in multiple psychology courses, the course name and code PSYCH 354R might not be helpful when viewing multiple notifications and activities. You can personalize the names of courses that you are enrolled in, for example, changing PSYCH 354R to Evolutionary Psychology.

Note the following:

  • Personalized course names must be between 1 and 128 characters. When editing a course name, the current and maximum character count display underneath the name.
  • Although you can have duplicate, personalized names for your courses, D2L recommends creating unique names to easily identify all of your courses.
  • Personalized course names are propagated to all of your devices and are retained after logging out. Any personalized course names do not appear in Brightspace Learning Environment or on the devices of other learners enrolled in the same courses.
  • The Courses list displays a maximum of 25 courses that you recently enrolled in (based on course start dates).
