Dashboard
Access course content quickly and see what’s due next from the dashboard.
Each course has a dashboard, it is designed to give you a snapshot of your class section and to highlight items that need attention. The dashboard displays several pieces of information like upcoming assignments, late work, meetings, and other items. In this topic, we will review each section of your student dashboard.
To view your class Dashboard.
- In the Classes list, click the course title
- From anywhere else in the class, select Dashboard on the side panel
Course Progress
Your course progress and grade are displayed at the top of the dashboard. The status circle displays how much of the course is complete. When all weighted activities have been graded the course progress ring will appear complete.

Under the Current Grade and Progress widget, you'll see your metrics for New Feedback and Late. When you select either of the cards in this section, you are taken to a list of the applicable items.
