Student tools
The University of Waikato provides a range of student tools to help you throughout your time here.
Moodle
Moodle is the university's system for delivering online content for your papers. It’s where you submit assignments, access course materials and keep up-to-date with what’s happening with your course. You can access Moodle through the student homepage.
Lecturers and teaching staff will use Moodle to upload course materials, set assignments, upload quizzes and more.
It is important to become familiar with this tool as it is something that you will use most days.
For self-help tools, check out the Moodle guides for students.
