Account setup

After reviewing all of the Brightspace tutorial pages, you will locate your course and teacher. You will then email your teacher and tell him/her that you are ready to start your online course. On the following Monday, your teacher will reply to you with your login information needed to access your Brightspace course.

Once you have this confirmation, we recommend that you change your password.

Password Change

We recommend changing your password which will affect your login for school computers, Brightspace and your OCSB Google account.  

​How to change your password:
  • From the login page (prior to logging into Brightspace), click the 'Change Password Tool' link.
  • In the pop-up window, enter your current username and password (provided by your teacher)
  • On the Password Change page, enter your current password, then enter your new password twice.  Click 'Change Password'.
  • Your new password should be 6 - 10 characters and must contain at least one numeric character.  It is recommended that you use a combination of lowercase and uppercase characters
  • Remember that your password is for Brightspace, school computers and your school Google account.
  • Please keep your password secure.  If you forget your password, contact your teacher to have it reset.
