About
Most courses in the Student Learning Portal (SLP) include a pacing guide that outlines which activities or assignments should be completed each week. This tool helps students stay on track and manage their time throughout the course.
Summer 2025 and beyond: We’ve launched a brand-new, smarter Pacing Tool in Brightspace to help you stay on track with ease. Explore how it works in the Student Pacing Tool. Note: the current pacing guides linked from the SLP will be retired on 7/7/25 with the exclusion of Essentials courses, which should continue to use the SLP guides.
Instruction
- First, log in to the Student Learning Portal.
- On the Dashboard, locate the course tile for the appropriate class.
- In the bottom-right corner of the course tile, select the Pacing Guide button.
This will open a new tab showing the current week's assignments. Each week number is clickable—selecting a week will display a list of assignments in a table below.
Additional Information
Printing the Pacing Guide
To print the entire pacing guide, students can select the Print all weeks button located in the top-right corner of the pacing guide page.
Important for Collaborative Courses
In collaborative courses, where a local teacher supports the course, the pacing may differ from what is shown in the SLP. In these cases, students should follow the pacing provided by their local teacher.
