At PPSC, we use an online classroom management system called Desire2Learn (D2L).

To learn how to use the tool, click on the “Discover” tab at the top of the page and explore the many tutorial videos available.
Note: Classes may not show in D2L until the first day of the class. If you don't see a class you're registered for in D2L, check back on the class start date.
