Where can I learn more on how to use Moodle?

To access Moodle help, go to Moodle for New Users. Here, you will learn more about:

  • logging in;
  • general use;
  • viewing past, current, and upcoming courses;
  • viewing grades.

What is Moodle?

Moodle is the course management system used by MVNU. You will log into Moodle to take online courses or to access important schedule and resource information for your in-seat course. Instructors will post announcements, grades, and feedback in Moodle. Moodle courses open 1-2 weeks prior to the launch of each course.

What is my Moodle username & password?

  1. To log in to Moodle, use your username, which is your last name and the first digit of your first name and middle name.
  2. Input your password; it is mvnu# (then your student ID).

For instance, if a student’s name was Bob David Smith and his ID was 1234, his username would be smithbd and his password would be mvnu#1234.

Why can't I see my course in Moodle?

Your courses should appear in the list approximately 1-2 weeks prior to the course start date. If you do not see the course within 1 week of the start date, please contact an Academic Service Specialist by calling 877-431-9610. Please note that courses with a future start date will appear under the “upcoming” rather than “in progress” list.

What browsers are supported by Moodle?

We recommend using either Firefox or Google Chrome for best compatibility.

How can I access an old course in Moodle from a previous semester?

Courses in Moodle can be seen your entire college career. Courses you have completed will be listed under the “expired” course list.
