Not seeing all your courses?
There are a few reasons you might not see the list of courses you are expecting to see.
Your course isn't available to you yet
Instructors
We use authorative information on 'who's teaching what' from our Academic Resource Management System (ARMS). Once you've been assigned to teach a course there, you will be added to your course automatically.
Students
While many courses use eClass, some Instructors may choose to not use eClass and some may have chosen not to make it available to you just yet, choosing to make it available for the first day of that class. It's best to check with your Instructor to find out if there is a eClass course available to you.
