UAlbany students have access to 24/7 support directly from Brightspace including live chat, phone, and email. To access help, log into Brightspace and click on the Image Modified icon on the bottom right of your screen.   See Get Help in Brightspace for more information. This is also known as the Brightspace Virtual Assistant. 

After you type in your question or concern, you will first be offered resources from the Brightspace Community. If those resources do not provide the help you need, you connect with a live support agent by live chat, email, or phone.
