Every once in a while, something will happen to make your Course Menu disappear. Usually it's a slip of the mouse while clicking a link, but sometimes there's just no telling. 

- When you get the error message, click on the small icon at the upper left that looks like two pieces of paper: 

That will open your Course Menu as its own window. Then you can click on anything in the menu (like Announcements) and you'll be back in your regular course view. 


It's also possible that your Course Menu has become hidden. To show a hidden Course Menu, hover over the bar on the left-hand side, where the Course Menu usually is. If your Course Menu is hidden, a gray tab with a white chevron will appear. 



Click on the chevron to show your Course Menu.
