Moodle Quickstart Guide for Students

Your Courses

At the beginning of each term, you will be automatically enrolled in your courses. Your courses will be listed under My courses, on the left side navigation menu.

If you do not see one or more of them, go to My dashboard (accessible from Moodle homepage, from the left side navigation menu, and from the dropdown menu next to your name on the top right corner of each page):

The fact that a course does not show under My courses depends on the course settings (managed by instructors). When in doubt, check your dashboard or your profile (the latter from the dropdown menu next to your name). When you access your dashboard, make sure to select All (except removed from view) in the Course overview drop down menu:

If the course is not there either, get in touch with us at moodlesupport@johncabot.edu.

 

To search for courses, go to the site home page, click Course Categories and use the Search courses box. Type in the course code or name of your course and hit Go.

IMPORTANT - During drop-and-add period, you might experience some delays, as it might take some time (worst-case scenario: 12 hours) for the courses to update.

Enrolment Keys

Some courses might require you to type an enrolment key (password) that it is usually given by the professor either in the syllabus or during the first class period. This might apply to honors students having to enrol into a "regular course", or to auditing students.

 

 

Type in the enrolment key and select Enrol me. You only have to enter the enrolment key once. After the enrolment you will not be asked to do it again and you will be able to access the course materials.
