Attention students new to Desire2Learn (D2L) and online classes at Anoka Technical College

Please be aware that when you first register for an online D2L course, it takes 24 hours before you are enrolled. 

Generally course enrollments do not start to appear until 25 days before the semester starts.

If you are able to login AND it is past the “25 days before the semester starts” rule AND you still cannot see your course, please contact the instructor as they may have not made the course “active” yet.

Please note: Students completing 10 or more credits are required to go through New Student Assessment prior to registering. For more information please see the Student Handbook


For course-related questions, please contact your instructor.
