What user name and password do I use to access Moodle?

I cannot log into Moodle - what do I do?
Verify that you are using the correct network account information to log into Moodle. Make sure your network account has not expired or is locked out. If you need to reset your password or unlock your account, you can do so at this address: http://www.lsuhsc.edu/changepassword. If you are still having trouble logging into Moodle, contact Richard Smith or Marco Sosa at NSComputerSupport@lsuhsc.edu.
My courses aren't listed - who do I contact?
The enrollments for Moodle are automatically downloaded nightly directly from the official enrollments in PeopleSoft.
