Moodle
Moodle is one of our most-used resources on campus. This site houses all of your classes for the semester and allows you to view and submit your assignments online.
​
To learn more about how to use Moodle and other systems, visit the Student Guide to Moodle & Other Systems.

To log in to Moodle, your username is firstname.lastname and your password is the same as your email password.
​
ACCESSING YOUR COURSES ON MOODLE
When you log in to your Moodle account, it will open up to a main welcome dashboard. From this site, click on My Courses to proceed to your primary course dashboard.
​
Once you are in the courses area, all of the classes that you are enrolled in will appear in a list. Additionally, on the left side of the screen is a calendar for the current month. In the calendar, you can hover over dates that are shaded orange to see a list of assignments due on that date. On the right side of the page, a timeline of assignments with their corresponding due dates will also be present. To enter the Moodle site for a specific course, simply click on the corresponding box on this dashboard.
​
NAVIGATING THE MOODLE SITE
Once you are on the Moodle site for a specific class, there is a bit of creative freedom. Some professors put more content onto their Moodle pages than others, but the general format of the site is a list of the weeks in the semester with content organized within each week. In these sites, assignments can be submitted virtually. Any item with this symbol ( ) indicates an assignment to be turned in. There also may be quizzes, attached PDF files, Word documents and other files in the Moodle site that you can click on and download as needed.
​
SUBMITTING ASSIGNMENTS
Once you click on the assignment item from the Moodle site, it will open a submission page, which will provide all the information about the assignment, including the due date of the assignment, and will allow you to turn in your file digitally. Click Add Submission and then Choose File. From here, you can upload various types of files from your computer. Once you find the right one, click Upload this File and then Save Changes to submit your document. Once you submit the document, a green line will appear and be labeled "submitted" on the assignment page. The document will be sent to your professor, as indicated by a submission confirmation email that will be sent to you immediately after submitting your work.
​
ACCESSING GRADES THROUGH MOODLE
Usually, when your work is graded, you will receive an email indicating that your professor has given feedback for your assignment. In this email, you can follow the link to the direct submission page, and the grade and any additional comments will be present on the assignment page itself. Additionally, to check the grade book for any class, click Menu on the far left, and then choose a class and choose Grades from the list to view the grade book for that course.
