Unsubscribe from all Notifications using email from D2L Brightspace

Summary

Can I opt-out of all my email notification subscriptions in D2L Brightspace?

Body

Overview

Students and instructors can use the unsubscribe here link in a notification email to unsubscribe from their own D2L Brightspace email notifications. 

You may wish to unsubscribe to reduce unwanted emails. Clicking the unsubscribe link opens a confirmation screen that allows an individual to opt out of their Brightspace email notifications (instant and summary).

Notes:

  • The unsubscribe process does not require the individual to enter their D2L Brightspace login credentials, which allows them to opt out with logging in.
  • If the individual accidentally chooses to unsubscribe, they must log in to D2L Brightspace to re-subscribe from the Notifications tool. 
  • This unsubscribe process does not opt you out of emails sent directly to you (such as from an instructor or students) or from Intelligent Agent emails. 

Unsubscribe from your email notifications

  1. When you receive a notification in your email, click the unsubscribe here link at the bottom of the email.
