Unsubscribing from D2L Notifications

Overview

While the D2L Notifications tool can be useful some users, such as students who no longer attend OCC, may not want to receive emails and/or text messages for every change and announcement. This document is intended to assist users in disabling those emails and/or text messages.

Important Note

D2L will be sunsetting the SMS Notifications barring any delays in July 2024.

D2L originally built this using a technology service available from most providers, email to SMS. Now, this service is being deprecated by providers and we are experiencing not only inconsistent delivery times but also large-scale outages at some of the largest mobile providers in North America.

For additional information regarding the change, navigate to the D2L community article, Intent to EOL SMS Notifications.
