In this page, we'll look at what students will see in the notification icon.
The Message 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 bell icon, until the student has clicked the icon to view the messages.
Splash Screen Messages
These Notifications appear temporarily when Students log in and they need to be aware or something.
Students can close these splash screen Notifications by selecting the cross within each notification, after which they will not appear automatically again.
However, Student can still view these notifications by selecting the Message Notification icon in the top right of their screen (see above).
The message display is shown below.
Email Notifications
These Notifications are also emailed to Students, provided you have uploaded Student’s email addresses in their profiles.
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, or if they change Pathway they will lose all current Selections.
What kind of things appear in the Notifications icon?
There are four different types of notifications that will appear:
Appointment cancellations
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.
