Course Announcements

Overview

On the Home page of your course, any Announcements appear in the right-hand column on the screen.

Whether your course contains any announcements depends on your instructor. If you do not see any announcements, your instructor has not posted anything about the course, or the announcements only appear at a set time. Contact your instructor if you have further questions about any Announcements posted within the course.
