This document provides instructions for students to access the learning management system Desire2Learn (D2L) used by some professors at HGTC. It outlines 7 steps for students to log into their WaveNet account, navigate to the "My Student" tab, select "My Courses", choose the specific course in D2L, and access course documents and materials through the categories on the homepage. It also notes that not all courses will have a D2L page and to contact the professor or Student Success and Tutoring Center for help if a course is not listed.

1. How to Access Desire2Learn (D2L)
Many professors at HGTC use D2L for sharing documents, and you need to know how to access those
documents in order to succeed in your courses. Here is how to get to D2L.
1.) In your browser, go to HGTC’s homepage (www.hgtc.edu) and select “myWaveNet” in the
upper right-hand corner:
2.) Log in to WaveNet with your User Name and Password.
If you don’t know your user name and/or password, contact someone at the appropriate
campus (passwords will not be given over the phone):
o Conway - Bldg. 200, Room 213
o Grand Strand - Bldg 200 Room 192A
o Georgetown - Bldg 100, Room 103

2. 3.) Once you are logged in, you should see the following page. Click on the “my Student” tab to the
far right (instructors have “my Faculty” and “my Employee” instead).
4.) From the “my Student” tab, click on “Click here to:” under “My Courses” on the left-hand side:

3. 5.) You should see the following page (or something similar) that lists all the courses you are
attending. Select the title of one you want to access.
Keep in mind that not all professors use D2L, so just because a course is listed here does
not mean that there is a D2L page for it.
If you do not see a course listed that you are taking, contact your professor—there is
probably an issue with you being on the roster.
6.) Once you have reached the D2L page, you have to select the course you want to enter (yes,
again—selecting it from WaveNet only takes you to the general D2L home page):

4. 7.) You have now arrived at the home page of the course you’ve chosen. The title of the course is
listed at the top, and you can always return and select another course by clicking the “My Home”
link in the top right-hand corner.
Other than that, just click through each of the categories on the yellow bar to access what you
need. Most documents are under “Content,” and the rest of the categories are pretty self-
explanatory.
