Would it be possible for us to be able to set what tab we want to be our default tab?  By default it just goes to the Bulletin Board tab.  I would prefer my default tab be the Student tab that lists my progress so far and has a link to all of my classes.  I have enlarged the tab with a red oval around it. As an alternative, could the Courses section be duplicated on the landing page "Bulletin Board tab" (circled in green)? In addition, it would be great if when you select a course and are directed to that course to interact, that there be a "Return" button to take you back to where you before you entered the specific course section, or at least back to the Student section, or the user designated default tab. Otherwise it is many clicks to get back to the Student tab where all of the course progress information and course schedule is listed (shown in the attached screen shot). Thank you very much!

  I agree. 

  In the Academic Settings, it would be helpful to enable us to change the default tab that students see in courses.
  
  We would prefer it be the Lessons tab. The Dashboard tab does not seem to be nearly as helpful as the Lessons Tab.

  curious if there is any update or thought of implementing this? it takes so many clicks for me to get to financial aid for students, especially since its hidden under "finance".

  The ability to change default tab per user, for sure. If I'm quickly going through and adding a scholarship to a list of student's it would be helpful to be able to set my default view to the student's financial aid tab. Then I may need to switch gears and check enrollment status on a list of students and so then I would want to set my default tab to Student. While I see the benefit of a student opening Populi to their Activity tab, it is rare that an employee needs the Activity tab as the default tab when opening a student.
