Menu
Selecting the Menu icon will open up all of the modules you can access . A module is an independent unit, such as Financial Aid or Student Financials, that is a part of a more complex structure.
To navigate to a module, select the desired module name. The module will expand to display all the pages you have access to. You can continue drilling down through the menus until you reach your desired page. Some selection options have folders within folders, while others may simply contain one page.

Recently Visited
Selecting the Recently Visited icon will take you to a list of the last ten pages that you have most recently viewed. Your Recently Visited pages may change depending on which pages you have accessed most recently.
Classic Home
Selecting the Classic Home icon changes the navigation layout to a drop-down menu. You can search for specific pages using the Search Menu. All of the same pages in the Navigator are still available through the Classic Home menu. The only difference is how the menu appears.
