I can't find my CourseWorks site... where is it?

← Old CourseWorks

In order for sites to appear within CourseWorks they must have been sent to the registrar. You can check if the course is “official” by visiting the directory of classes. If you find your course there, it should be in CourseWorks as well.

After you log into CourseWorks, be sure to click the “Next Semester” button in the left navigation to see if it might be there.

If the course is not in the directory of classes, please contact your departmental administrator. If the course is there, but not in CourseWorks, contact us at ccnmtl@columbia.edu and we’ll see what we can do.
