How do I find my course?

After you have logged in to iCollege (iCollege.gsu.edu), you will come to the home page for your iCollege account. You’ll be able to change some settings here and view learning tools.

My Course Widget

Widgets are sections of content that provide different types of information to you. The main widget on your iCollege home page is the My Courses widget, which should appear directly below the iCollege menu prominently on the left two-thirds of the page. Other widgets in your courses include Announcements and the Content Browser.

Favorite or ‘Pin’ Your Courses

After you have located your courses for the semester, you may find it helpful to pin your courses. Pinning is like favoriting or saving a social media post to find it more easily later. Pinning a course is especially helpful if you have other courses lingering from previous semesters.

Pinning & Unpinning

To pin a course, hover over a course that doesn’t have the pin icon, and you should see a ‘…’ icon in the upper right-hand corner. Clicking the ‘…’ icon will reveal the option to ‘Pin’ in the menu below. Simply click the word ‘Pin,’ and you will have pinned that course.

To unpin a course, all you have to do is click on the push pin icon, and it will unpin that course.

Showing Only Your Pinned Courses

To modify the My Courses widget view to show only pinned courses, click ‘Pinned’ at the top of the widget. This way, you can focus on just the courses you need for this semester.
