On January 2, 2026, courses at UA will receive an update to base navigation and course navigation. The changes improve overall user experience and accessibility.
The main updates to the course navigation are:
- Courses now open in full-screen mode to maximize horizontal space and reduce clutter.
- A new Home button returns you to the Institution page.
- The Course Switcher allows users to quickly jump between their four most recent courses or go to the full Courses page.
- The course menu is positioned higher on the screen and remains as users scroll down the page.
- The course banner is the full width of the screen.
