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 beneath “Course overview” to filter which courses you see.


You can also find your current active courses on the Home Page, which is available via a tab at the top of the page and beneath the section titled “Moodle News.”
