To access your classroom, navigate to the Student Portal and click on the course you'd like to enter. You will be brought to that course's Home Page. (If you are a faculty member it would be the faculty portal or if you are a staff member then the staff portal.)

As you scroll down the Home Page more content will continue to populate.
When you enter the course, you will see the Course Navigation Menu on the left-hand side of the page. From the Course Navigation Menu, you can quickly access all the important elements of your course.
The three stacked horizontal lines in the top left of the course allow for the collapsing and expanding of the Course Navigation Menu.
