DO I DO?
Sometimes you can’t see your course because:

• The class is at the bottom of the listing
All your enrolled classes will appear under your course
list. The dates are indicated when available. You can
modify this list by clicking the settings icon (top right
of the course list module). Click on Group by Term
then submit. You will see your classes sorted by term.
Select which term you want to show then submit.
