Distance Education

SUNY Morrisville provides distance education to students to expand their career path and improve their career development through a flexible, independent learning schedule. Courses that utilize online instructional technology at SUNY Morrisville can be divided into three categories: fully online, hybrid and hyflex. A description of each instructional method can be found on SUNY Morrisville's Distance Education webpage. Please note, that fully face-to-face courses may contain required online components.

Students should be prepared for the requirement to use a computer in any course they register for at SUNY Morrisville regardless of whether it is a fully online, blended or face-to-face section. Questions regarding the types of activities required in a specific course or section should be directed to the course instructor.

Online Course Access

Students access all of their online courses through Brightspace, the SUNY Morrisville learning management system. Students log into Brightspace with their Morrisville campus login credentials.

Brightspace Instruction

SUNY Morrisville transitioned from Blackboard to a new Learning Management System (LMS) named Brightspace by Desire2Learn (D2L) at the beginning of Summer 2023. With 55 other SUNY Campuses, SUNY Morrisville uses one unified Brightspace platform. Students and faculty could use Morrisville or other SUNY campuses’ credentials to verify their identity to log in to Brightspace and access courses at all campuses.

Besides Brightspace instruction, SUNY Morrisville also provides the necessary supports of other technologies for students in the online learning environment. There are many useful technical tools and reading materials that help student succeed in the online learning. Students can get to know these resources available through their Brightspace account or they can  contact SUNY Online Help Desk at 1-844-673-6786 or 1-518-320-1300 (direct).

SUNY Morrisville Student Complaint Procedure

SUNY Morrisville is a member of the National Council for State Authorization Reciprocity Agreements (NC-SARA) and follows the complaint resolution policies and procedures outlined within the SARA Policy Manual and summarized here. Consumer protection complaints resulting from distance education courses, activities, and operations may be submitted to the Office of the Provost for investigation and resolution. If a student is dissatisfied with the campus-based resolution, a concern may be submitted to System Administration of the State University of New York as outlined here. And, if still not satisfied, a complaint may be submitted, within two years of the incident about which the complaint is made, to the New York State Education Department as outlined here. Please note, this does not include complaints related to grades or student conduct violations, both of which are to be fully addressed via campus processes, not through the NC-SARA complaint resolution procedures.

A student has the right to lodge a complaint or grievance. SUNY Morrisville ensures that all concerns and complaints of students are addressed fairly and are resolved promptly. Any person who believes he/she has been aggrieved by the College may file a complaint with the Office of the Provost within 90 days of the alleged occurrence or event giving rise to the grievance. Complaints may be made in person, by telephone, or in writing. An official complaint form and guidelines are available in the Office of the Provost. Email Provost Office.

You will be asked to discuss your problem with a responsible college representative, one who may best be able to resolve your concerns.

In response to a written complaint, the College will investigate the allegations and respond to the grievant in a timely manner. Should the need arise, the College may contact the grievant for further information or clarification of the complaint. The complaint may be referred to a responsible campus official for resolution; any final determination of a formal complaint will be made by an individual not directly involved in the alleged problem.

No adverse action will be taken by the College against the student or other complainant.

The College will maintain a written record of the complaint and its resolution or disposition, including appropriate documentation, for a period of six years. Such file will be retained in the Office of the Provost.
