Finding Your Courses

Once you login to Moodle, the next screen that you will see is your Dashboard. Your course(s) should appear in the center of the page, beneath the Timeline, in the Course Overview section.  For students, only the current semester's courses are typically visible; faculty will see all their courses, with the current/active term's courses first.  You can use the dropdown menu to filter which courses you see.

You can also find your current active courses in the left column under My Courses, or on the Home Page, where your full list of courses will be displayed under the heading "My Courses".
