Notifications

Choose what the platform alerts you about and how you receive each alert.

Notifications keep you up to date when something happens — a new announcement, an upcoming event, a graded assignment, a payment due. You control what you're notified about and how each alert reaches you.

Who this is for

Everyone. Each person manages their own notification settings.

How you can be notified

Each kind of notification can reach you through one or more channels:

ChannelWhat it is
In-appThe notifications list (the bell) inside the app.
EmailSent to your email address.
Web pushA pop-up from your browser, even when the app isn't open.

What you can be notified about

You'll only see the categories that apply to your role. Common categories:

CategoryNotifies you about
AnnouncementsA new announcement published to you.
EventsA new event, or a reminder before one starts.
Assignments & gradesNew assignments, deadlines, graded work, and published exam results.
PaymentsNew invoices, payments due, and confirmed payments.
TimetableSchedule changes — a new timetable, room changes, teacher substitutions, exam schedules.
TransportVehicle document expiries (for administrators).
RemindersSystem reminders, such as an academic or fiscal year nearing its end.

Change your notification settings

Open your notification settings

Go to your Notification settings (in your profile or settings area).

Turn categories on or off

For each category, turn notifications on or off. Turn off the ones you don't want to hear about.

Choose how you're notified

For the categories you keep on, choose which channels to use — in-app, email, web push, or a combination. Save your changes.

Muting a chat is separate

Notification settings control the platform's alerts. To silence one specific conversation, mute it from within the chat instead — see Chat and messaging.

Common use cases

  • Email for important things only — keep payments and announcements on email, everything else in-app.
  • Quiet in-app only — turn off email and web push, and check the bell when you're in the app.
  • Stay on top of grades — keep assignments & grades on with web push so you're alerted right away.
