2. Modules and navigation

Q2.1. Why can’t I see

...

all my modules?

A.  When you log in to Moodle the first page is My home (or My Moodle). On this page is listed all the modules you are enrolled on. Students are given access to Moodle modules according to your record of enrolments in the student record system (SATURN). If you do not see a module that you expect to have access to there may be a number of reasons:

  1. Your module convenor may not be using Moodle for your module (check with them).You may have selected your module but your school has not yet put it onto your student record (or has only just put it on). It takes a working day for modules added in your student record to become available in Moodle. If you do not see a module that you know you are signed up for, please check with your school that they have updated your record.
  2. Your module may still be under preparation and your module convenor or lecturer has not yet made it available to students. Once the term has started please check with them when they are going to make it available.
  3. You may be required to self-enrol on the module. Please use Navigation > Site home > Browse modules to browse through Faculties and Schools to find the module OR type its name or code into the Search box. If the module is available for self-registration you can click into it and activate your participation.  More information about self-enrolment.
  4. You may have selected your module but your school has not yet put it onto your student record (or has only just put it on).
