In this page, we'll look at what students will see in the notification icon.
Where is the notification icon?
The notification icon can be found at the top of the students' screen. The red badge with the number of new notifications will appear on top of the regular icon, until the student has clicked the icon.
This is a reinforcement of the notifications that appear temporarily when students log in and they need to be aware or something. Students can close these temporary notifications, and once they have, they can't be viewed again. The student notifications at the top of the screen will keep these notifications, in case they need to be referred to later.
These notifications are also emailed to the student, as long as you have uploaded their email address in their profile.
Students are also notified, on screen, if they are about to make a change to their selection choices that will see them forfeit their position in a capacity limited subject as shown below
What kind of things appear in the notifications icon?
There are four different types of notifications that will appear:
Appointment cancellation - if a member of staff cancels a time slot that was booked for a student, a notification will appear saying exactly that
Waitlist clearance and cancellation - If a waitlist for a course comes through, or if it is waitlist is cancelled, a notification will appear.
Prerequisite override decisions - Approved and declined requests, as well as any notes, will appear once a decision has been made by a member of staff about the request
Collapsed courses - When a course is removed from SSO because it has been collapsed by the school, students who have chosen it will see a notification along with notes that you can enter.
