Moodle: Homepage and My Courses Page

My Home Page

You can access some institutional resources from the Moodle homepage without having to login. However, you must login in order to access your courses.

• Access various resources, such as the LSU Libraries, academic support, or resources for faculty.

My Courses

The My Courses area of Moodle is where you can find your profile, your courses, and notifications for recent deadlines, forums, messages, etc. It can be opened from anywhere in Moodle, and allows you easy access to courses, without having to return to the My Home page. 

• Login to Moodle using your LSU username and password. 
• In the upper-right corner, click on the My Courses link. 
  
   
• Your courses will appear as course cards. They are arranged by year, and by alphabetical order. Clicking on the title of a course card will bring you to that course. Instructors can also access hidden courses, which are hidden from students.
  
   
• You can favorite a course, which moves the course to the first tile, by clicking on the star icon in the upper-right corner of the course card.
  
  • NOTE: For more details on favoriting a course or requesting its removal after completion of a course, please see: Moodle: Organize Courses.
     
• On the right-side of the screen, you'll find upcoming deadlines, recent messages and forum posts. Instructors will also see notifications for assignments that need grading.
  
   
• Along the top of the screen, you can choose to close the window to return to the previous screen, access your profile, My Home (the Moodle homepage), preferences, grades or log out.
  
  
  For more information on your preferences and profile, see GROK article 20168.
