To access the on demand Orientation topics, you first must have access to D2L. D2L is the learning system

used by the SD Board of Regents universities for online classes.

Step 1: Do you have an existing D2L account?

If your answer is YES, you have taken an online college course or some other course offered through

D2L and have a username and password, you can use that same account to access the SD Orientation

training. Continue with Step 3 below.

If your answer is NO, go to Step 2 now.

STEP 2: For users who DO NOT have an existing D2L account, click on the link below to

set up your D2L account:
