Accessing Moodle from Populi

Logging in the First Time

Alternatively, if this is your first time taking a course with the Josephinum, logging into Moodle from Populi will create a new account for you in Moodle. Please follow the instructions below that match your status.

If you do not remember your password, click the Forgot password? link to reset it.
