Are you logged into Moodle but not seeing an academic course or site? These steps can help you pinpoint and fix what is causing the problem.
Check your visibility settings
The My coursespage in Moodle contains a Course overview of the Moodle sites for all courses—past, present, and future—for which you are a participant
If you can't find a course within this menu, change the time period filter.
Set it to In progress to show only your current courses. Set it to All to show every course you are or have been enrolled in.
Check that you're in the right Moodle.
Each member of theTri-College Consortiumhas its own Moodle site. Academic courses will show up on the Moodle site of the college hosting the course:
- moodle.brynmawr.edu: Bryn Mawr courses (course numbers starting with B, e.g., HIST B200).
- moodle.haverford.edu: Haverford courses (course numbers starting with H, e.g. HIST H200).
- moodle.swarthmore.edu: Swarthmore courses
Check that you're enrolled in Bionic.
If an academic course is missing from your My Coursespage, double-check that you are enrolled in it on Bionic, as that's where enrollment for academic courses happens first. That enrollment data is then sent to Moodle to create class participant lists.
If you are not enrolled in a course on Bionic,please do the following:
- Students: contact the Registrar’s Officefor help with Bionic.
- Faculty: contactyour department chairor the Provost's Office.
If you just enrolled in a course on Bionic,please wait 24 hours. It can take that long for Bionic to transfer information to Moodle. If you need acsess to a course page in the meantime,please do the following:
- Instructors:contact the Help Desk and ask to be added as an instructor on the Moodle course page.
- Students: access aMoodle course as a guest to view course materials, if possible. Ask the course's Instructor of Record toenroll you as an Auditorif a course isn't guest-accessible or if you need to complete course activities and submit assignments.
Note:Auditors andRegistered studentshaveexactly the same permissions in Moodle. When registration data from Bionic syncs to Moodle, any Auditorwho is a Registered student will be listed as having both roles. This will not affect any of their permissions or work they have submitted.
If 24 hours have passed and a coursestill isn't showing up on yourMy Courses page, please contact theHelp Deskand tell us the course subject, number,and any sectioninformation (e.g., CHEM.B101.002). Also, if you're trying to get anyone added besides yourself, please provide their name.
Other kinds of Moodle courses
Many departments use Moodle pages for things other than academic courses, such as placement tests, advising programs, and academic resources. These courses are created manually and thus are not handled by Bionic. As a result, Instructor of records or Other editing teachers manually add students to the course.
- Students:If a non-academic course Moodle site is missing from your My courses page, contact the person or department who manages it and ask them to enroll you as a participant.
- Faculty:If you manage a non-academic Moodle site, you can enroll anyone who is not already a course participant. If someone is already a participant but can't access your site, contact the Help Desk and give them the person's name and the course's name.

As an expert in educational technology, particularly Moodle and online learning platforms, I can confidently share insights and information related to the concepts mentioned in the provided article.
Visibility Settings in Moodle: The article mentions checking visibility settings in Moodle to address issues with not seeing academic courses. In Moodle, visibility settings are crucial for determining which courses are displayed to users. Users can customize their course overview based on time periods such as "In progress" or "All." This is a standard feature in learning management systems to help users manage their course lists efficiently.
Tri-College Consortium Moodle Sites: The article highlights that each member of the Tri-College Consortium has its own Moodle site, with academic courses showing up on the Moodle site of the college hosting the course. This emphasizes the decentralized nature of Moodle instances and how institutions can have their own dedicated platforms within the consortium.
Enrollment in Bionic: The article emphasizes the importance of being enrolled in Bionic, the academic system, to ensure proper visibility of courses in Moodle. Enrollment data in Bionic is transferred to Moodle to create class participant lists. This integration is a common practice in educational technology, where different systems work together to streamline administrative processes.
Role Permissions in Moodle: The article briefly mentions the roles of Auditors and Registered students in Moodle. It notes that Auditors and Registered students have the same permissions in Moodle. Understanding roles and permissions is fundamental in Moodle administration to ensure that users have appropriate access to course materials and activities.
Manual Enrollment in Non-Academic Courses: The article mentions that many departments use Moodle for non-academic purposes, and these courses are manually created. In such cases, instructors or other editing teachers manually add students to the course. This manual enrollment process is a common practice for non-academic courses or special programs within Moodle.
Help Desk Support: The article provides guidance on contacting the Help Desk for assistance with Moodle-related issues. This reflects the importance of having dedicated support services for users encountering problems with online learning platforms, ensuring a smooth experience for both students and faculty.
In conclusion, the article covers various aspects of using Moodle for academic and non-academic purposes, addressing common issues related to visibility, enrollment, and system integration. The information provided demonstrates a comprehensive understanding of Moodle and educational technology, and the recommendations align with best practices in the field.
