DC Connect Platform What is DC Connect? DC Connect is the learning environment used by all students and faculty at Durham College. Powered by Desire2Learn software, DC Connect serves as an online “homeroom” for your classes. As a web-based platform, DC Connect is accessible on or off-campus, anytime, day or night. You will not have access to your course(s) until the start date. If you register after the start date, access will be granted 1-2 business days after you have registered. Internet Explorer no longer supports D2L/Brightspace. You must use a different browser to access your course. If you are registered for other courses, they may be offered using another platform.
