Planning your term
Notifications
There are two kinds: a notification list inside the app, and push notifications that reach you when the app is closed.
In the app
The bell (beside the settings gear on a computer, on your profile on a phone, and in the profile menu) opens your notifications: new followers, new posts from clubs you follow, replies and status changes on feedback you posted, and, if you help run a club, invitations and role changes on its team. A short banner also points to anything new when you open the app. Mark all as read clears the badge without deleting anything; swipe a single notification to remove it.
Push: turning it on
Enable notifications in Settings → General. Your browser or phone will ask for permission: that prompt is the operating system’s, and the app cannot send anything until you accept it.
On iPhone, web push requires the app to be installed to the Home Screen first. Open the site in Safari, tap Share, then Add to Home Screen, and enable notifications from there.
What gets pushed
- Reminders you set on a specific assessment or a campus event
- A seat opening in a section you are watching
- A warning before a free trial ends and a card is charged
Nothing is sent for marketing, and there is no digest you did not ask for.
Turning them off
Switch them off in Settings → General, or revoke the permission in your browser or phone settings. Either stops delivery immediately.
