Brightspace is Coming!

A new Learning Management System (LMS) is coming to Lehman College. Beginning in the summer of 2025, all Lehman College courses will be taught on Brightspace, replacing Blackboard. All CUNY campuses are making the switch, several already have. 

Here's What's Better About Brightspace
  • Intuitive and Modern User Design
  • Mobile and Accessible
  • Easy to Use App - Brightspace Pulse
  • Enhanced Tools and Features for Faculty/Student Engagement
  • 24 x 7 x 365 support for faculty, students, and staff

 

We want to make sure you know:

  • All your current classes will be automatically migrated to Brightspace. NOTHING WILL BE LOST in the transition.
  • For courses more than two years old, IT will assist in migrating your work.
  • After the switch, Blackboard will still be accessible for a limited time to make sure you transfer or download all your information and documents.
