• clicking on the University logo in the top left-hand corner, or 
• clicking on Hamburger menu , top right, and the Dashboard link is the first in the list

Click on the Current modules tab to see this year's modules or Archived modules to see those you studied last year or previous to that.

Click on the module title to enter it.

Missing some modules

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. If you do not see a module that you expect to have access to there may be a number of reasons; you first point of contact should be your School Office as they are responsible for registration and entering your details into the student record system.

As a guide, these are some possible reasons for modules missing on your My home page.

• Are you looking for a module that you studied last year or previously?  You will find these under the Archived modules tab.

Note:  at the beginning of term last year's modules may still be in your Current modules tab: Archiving takes place on the 7th of October every year.

• Your module may not yet be visible to you, particularly at the beginning of term - it 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.
  
  
• You may be required to self-enrol on the module, especially if it's not a taught module, it's a Nottingham Advantage Award module or an overarching School module for information or a place to submit all your assessments. To find these modules go to the Hamburger menu in the top right-hand corner> Site home> and enter the module code in the Search modules text box. 
  
  
  
  For more details please see:  How do I self-enrol on a module?
  
  
• You may have selected your module but your school has not added it onto your student record (or has only just added it). It takes one working day for modules added in your student record to become available in Moodle. Please leave it a day and then if you still do not see a module that you know you are signed up for check with your school that they have updated your record.
