Back to School - Getting Started for Teachers

Take a tour

The first time you sign in, a Welcome window opens, and you have the option to take guided tours that give you an overview of areas of the site, including Messages, Profile, and Settings, as well as tours based on your personas, such as Faculty. You can access these tours any time by selecting your name in the top right corner, then Getting Started.

Starting pages

The areas of the site, such as Academics, Core, Enrollment management, etc., and personas, like Faculty, Parent, Student, Alum, that you have access to are determined by the user roles and access assigned to you by your administrator. You switch between different areas and personas using the menu in the upper left corner of the page.

From those areas and personas, you can choose where you land upon signing into the site, as well as where you land when switching to a different persona.
