Profile
In the upper right corner there is a person logo with a drop-down arrow. You can go to account settings or log out.
To change your settings, click ACCOUNT SETTINGS from the drop-down menu.
The term is automatically set by the institution. If you want to set your default term you can change this in your profile. This is handy as the college works in several terms at the same time. By changing the default term, it will allow you to change from one screen to another without having to change what term you are working in each time.
At the bottom of your profile page, you can change the frequency of Coursedog emails. Coursedog will send emails regarding change notifications. You can either select to receive these emails immediately or once in a daily digest.
