Ask for Help

Help is available! To help us help you faster and better:

• Let us know what course you're asking about—the CRN is displayed in the "breadcrumb" trail at the top of each page.
• Be as clear as possible about the problem you are having—let us know the name of the activity or resource that is not working for you. For even faster help, open the item and copy the URL to include with your message. Screenshots are also helpful!
  
• Check your email frequently in case we have follow-up questions or recommendations for you.
• Let us know when your problem is resolved.

Here's how to reach the Moodle Help Desk:
