You'll need to follow the confirmation instructions in that email and then you'll be all set up to receive announcements from eClass. Avoid being stuck in a feedback loop: Confirm your email by clicking on the confirmation link we sent you.

To enter a course, click its title or picture tile.
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 at all while others may have made it hidden as they are preparing the course for you. It's best to check with your Instructor to find out if there will be an eClass course available to you.
You've recently switched your courses or section
- If you've recently added a course or switched sections, please allow up to 24 hours for it to appear in your list of courses.
You have filters affecting your view
Make sure you are displaying courses that are In progress
- Use the Filter in the Course overview block to show either In progress, Past or Future courses. You can also use this filter to see any courses you may have starred or hidden.

- You can choose to remove courses from your view if they are no longer relevant to you, to do this click on the three vertical dots beside the course title and choose Remove from view.
