Logging into Moodle & Overview

Moodle - VLE

Logging into Moodle for the first time (Written Guide)

When you start a course at the university, you will first need to logon to both the MyUni portal and Moodle, by doing so, you will allow your modules to be added to your Moodle page.

To do this, first, head to the MyUni portal and click the 'Logon' banner.

A screenshot of the MyUni portal, there is a red box and a red arrow pointing and highlighting the logon banner in the middle of the screen.

After clicking this, you will be greeted by a Microsoft sign-in page, for this screen, you need to login with your full student email.

Your full student email is formatted as: S12345678@mail.glyndwr.ac.uk (you would have received your student number in a welcome email)

After typing in your full student email, enter your password that you would have created previously, if you have not done this yet, please head to the password reset page in order to create your password.

If your account is new, you may need to setup Microsoft Authenticator, please see our separate guidance on setting this up for the first time.

If you already have authenticator setup, either type in the two digits into your authenticator app, or select from one of the options presented.

When you have successfully signed in, you will be taken back to the MyUni portal. Click the 'VLE (Moodle) tile.

After clicking this tile, your Dashboard may be empty, (scroll down to the 'Course Overview section first to double-check) this is because it can take up to 24 hours for your modules to appear, so please wait until the next day before contacting support if you don't see your modules.
