My Courses Widget

Students can access the My Courses widget from their Brightspace homepage. This widget contains course cards for courses that the student has been enrolled in. Past and Present courses can be accessed through this widget.

1. The All tab displays all courses a student is enrolled in.

     1. 1. Hover over the course card and select the three dots.

        2. Click Pin/Unpin.

3. The Pin icon indicates if a course has been pinned. Clicking on this icon is another way to Unpin a course.

4. The terms a student is enrolled in will display along the top of the widget. Clicking the Right arrow will scroll through the available terms. Clicking on a term will display only the courses for that term.

5. Course cards will contain the course name, course code, term, and end date. Clicking on a card will open up that course.

6. If more courses are available, there will be a link to View All Courses at the bottom of the widget. This link will include the number of courses in parentheses.
