When you are working at home, it is very important that you set your timezone if you are outside of the Central Time Zone. If due dates are time-sensitive, being off by two or three hours can be significant. Steps:

1\. Log in to Moodle and start at your dashboard.

2\. In the upper-right corner, locate the area where your profile picture appears. Use the drop-down arrow to find the menu:
