ITS automatically imports all your courses using information from the Registrar's Office. When you log into Moodle you will see all the courses available to you.

Courses are organized into In Progress, Future, and Past based on the start and end dates of the course. Within each section the courses are in alphabetical order.

Overview
The course overview section contains a listing of all the courses available to you. The default settings are to display each course in a box, sorted alphabetically, which is not always optimal. There are several ways to organize the listings.
Filtering Course Listings
It is possible to show only courses happening this semester or courses from the past or in the next semester (future). There are other options viewing "starred" (favorite) courses or courses you have hidden from the listing. The Moodle course listing uses the start and end dates of the course to determine which tab to put the course in (In Progress, Future, or Past). If the Start date is in the future, the course goes into Future. If the end date is in the past, the course shows up in the past. Otherwise, it is listed as a In Progress course
Sorting Courses
Courses can be sorted by name or by the time "last accessed". If you tend to visit the same courses over and over, it is probably easier to sort by "Last accessed".
Display
The default view is "card", which shows a course with its thumbnail image (which can be customized by the professor). To condense the view, it is possible to switch to a "List" or "Summary" view.
Other Settings
You can control how many courses show up on the home page with a control at the bottom of the "Course Overview" box. There are other controls for switch to the next page.
I can't see my course
If your course does not show up in the Moodle home page, check the future or past tabs in case the you are viewing the page before the official start date of the course or after the course has ended. if you have filtered out or hidden the course.
If the course doesn't appear anywhere in Moodle, you may not be enrolled in the course. Check in Faculty Services (for faculty) or MySwarthmore (for students) to make sure you are enrolled in the course.
Students: If you are enrolled in the course, but it does not show up in your Moodle home page, most likely your professor has not made the course available to students. They might not be using Moodle or they may be waiting to make the course available. You can check Check with your professor.
Alternate course listings
If the Moodle course overview page does not arrange your courses in a way that works for you, there are some alternate organizational possibilities.
Customize the Moodle Home Page with an HTML Block
It is possible to customize your Moodle home page. Log into Moodle. At the home page, click on "Customize this page". On the bottom of the left menu click "Add a block" (click the button on the top left of the page if you don't see a left menu). Select the "HTML" block. Find the block entitled "(New HTML Block)" and use the icon with the four arrows to move the block above the course overview. Click on the gear icon in the block to configure the block. Provide a title (e.g. "My Courses") and enter or copy the names of your courses in your preferred order into the Content area. Select the name of each course and use the link button (looks like a chain icon) to create an HTML link to your courses by entering the URL to each course in the appropriate link.
You can also add images, other text, and links to non-Moodle pages to further customize you your home page.
