How do I change my Moodle password

Your Moodle password is always the same as your College network password. So, if you want to change it on Moodle, you'll have to change it on the network. You can do this on the College computers by pressing Ctrl + Alt + Del and selecting the 'Change Password' option once you have logged in.

How do I submit an assignment on Moodle?

Moodle assignments are shown on the course homepage. Some departments put each assignment within its corresponding Moodle course e.g. ABC100, LN132 etc. Some departments use a specific Moodle course for collecting all assignments across a programme or the department. 

The assignment submission page will show the assignment deadline and further details. The exact steps for submitting an assignment depend on the settings chosen by your teacher. 

  • For file submissions, click Upload file(s), then click Add... to browse for the file to upload. Finally, click Save changes to confirm.
  • For text only submissions, click Add submission

You may be able to read, edit and resubmit your assignment type depending on the settings your teacher has chosen. If your teacher is providing feedback and grades through Moodle you be able to see this by clicking on the assignment once it has been marked. You will usually receive an email notification.

For how long after I leave College can I continue to access my Moodle courses? 

Most Moodle courses are automatically reset at the end of each academic year – at the end of August. This means that your Moodle course enrolments and any course contributions including discussion postings, quiz and assignment submissions are automatically removed.
