Exciting News: A New Learning Experience is Here!
We're thrilled to announce that future courses will be delivered through Brightspace, GIA's new learning management system. The system will replace our current Blackboard learning management system. With a more intuitive design, improved navigation, enhanced communication tools, and seamless access across devices, Brightspace will make learning easier than ever.

When will this happen? New classes will begin in Brightspace starting in October 2026. Existing classes will be migrated over to Brightspace throughout the month of November.
