What Is eCampus?

eCampus, also known as Brightspace, is the Learning Management System (LMS) for Dallas College. Instructors use eCampus to post course materials, send announcements, interact with students, collect and grade work, and more.

Important: The recommended internet browsers are Firefox, Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome. Do not use Internet Explorer.

  1. Visit the eCampus login page.
  2. Log in using your Dallas College Single Sign-On (SSO) credentials.
    1. Your ID is your username email (e.g., e1234567@dcccd.edu).
    2. The password is the one you chose when you set up your eConnect account.

    Step 2: Check for the Faculty Landing Page
