After logging into MyLETU Courses, you'll see two tabs across the top:
1) Home tab:
- Use the Pencil icon at top right of My Courses section to indicate which of your courses should appear in your course listing
- Click a course title in My Courses section to access a course site
2) Courses tab:
- Lists all MyLETU Courses sites that you are associated with
- Students in traditional undergraduate courses and online courses should automatically see links to all of their course sites; working adult students taking evening courses will not see links to their course sites until their instructors add them to the course site

the screen. Typical MyLETU Courses course menu items are as follows:
