You can send emails to class members or your instructor from the Classlist in D2L. You may use this feature as an option to logging into your OCC student email account in order to send an email message. The D2L system is a "send-only" system which allows instructors and students to send email from D2L, thus emails sent to you from D2L can be accessed and read from your OCC student email account. Lastly, in order to send emails from D2L, you must have an active OCC student email account.
