STUDENT-Exploring the Student Home Page in Schoology

Your home page is the first page you reach when you log into Schoology.

Recent Activity displays all comments and updates about your courses and group.

To filter your feed so it only displays Updates, Polls, or Blog Posts, click Most Recent and select a filtering option.

The Course Dashboard displays all your courses as a tiled list. You can drag and drop the tiles to rearrange the order of your courses on the dashboard. This order will also be reflected in the Courses drop-down menu.

NOTE: Only the first 12 tiles are displayed in the Courses drop-down menu. From the Course Dashboard, you can click a course card to go to the course's main landing page.

The To Do section of your home page displays events, assignments, tests/quizzes, and discussions with an associated due date.

Move the pointer over each item to display the course or group associated with the item, or move the pointer over the clock or exclamation point icons to display when the material is due. If you have at least three overdue items, an option will display to allow you to access the additional overdue work.

The Recently Completed section displays materials that you submitted and need to be graded. Move the pointer over the icons associated with each material to display the grading status or the grade for that assignment.
