Course Home Page
Step 1: From your Course Home Page, you have access to some additional features. In the top left corner of the task
bar, there is an icon shaped like a house. To the right of the house there is a downward facing arrow. Clicking on the
downward facing arrow allows you to toggle between courses (Course-to-Course Navigation) without going back to
your Rasmussen Home tab.

Step 2: Course-to-Course Navigation allows you to quickly toggle between courses. One of the built in features of the
Course-to-Course Navigation is that the page you are currently viewing in course 1, will be the page that displays when
you click over to course 2. For example, if you are on Needs Grading in one course, and you use the downward facing
arrow next to home to move to your next course, that course will automatically load to the Needs Grading page.
