The Online Learning program is designed to be usable by any student with Internet access and a computer capable of running current web browsers. Online Learning courses use Moodle as a Course Management System. There are two ways to access your Moodle course—via myU portal or via the Moodle server.
Note: You may not be able to access the course until your instructor turns on the course site.
myU Portal
A web portal, myU is a resource that every student at the University of Minnesota has access to, which has information and announcements specifically for you and your class.
Access your course via myU portal
- Go to your myU portal page.
- Enter your University Internet ID/password. Click Login button,
- Select the my COURSES tab, and then click on the appropriate semester sub-tab (Active/Recent/Upcoming) to see the links to Moodle sites to which you already have access. Note that there may be 2 sections in your Active tab, Credit Courses You Will Be Taking/Teaching and Other Courses You Are Taking/Teaching. Be sure to check both sections for your course.
Remember to log out and close all browser windows when you are finished.
Moodle
