Request a user ID
You'll need this, among other things, for your university email address or Wi-Fi access. You can submit the application on the Central IT website.
Log in to Moodle
Moodle is THA’s e-learning platform. The link to it is located in the upper right corner under “Login.” Familiarize yourself a little with the structure before the semester begins. However, many courses are only accessible with a password, which you’ll usually receive from your instructor during the first class session.
