Finding Your Courses on the Moodle Home Page

When you log into Moodle, your newest term’s courses will appear at the top of the Home page.

If your courses are hidden, they will appear at the bottom of the Home page instead.

Example:

Hidden courses also do not appear on the My Courses or Dashboard pages, and must be accessed from the Home page.

• Click here for instructions on how to show or hide an entire course.

Instead of hiding courses in the course settings, we recommend using the Bulk Edit tool to hide the contents instead.

• Click here for instructions on how to bulk hide your Moodle course contents.

Using Moodle Search

Moodle has a search feature on the home page to help you quickly locate your courses.

1. From the Moodle home page, use the search bar at the top.
2. Enter the course code.
   • • Be sure to include the hyphen.
     • Correct: ACC-1000 ✅
     • Incorrect: ACC1000 ❌
3. To narrow down your search, you can also add the term code. “202509” is the current term.
   • • Example: ACC-1000 202509

Tip: The search is fussy. If you don’t see your course right away, check that you’ve typed the code with a hyphen and used the correct term. You can also use CTRL + F to search your home page instead of the search box in Moodle.

Starring Your Courses

You can save all of the courses you are currently working on under my Courses:

1. Go to the My Courses page.
2. Find the course you want to keep handy.
3. Click the three dots next to the course you want to star.

1. Click Star this course.
