Getting Help!

PrintPrint

Sometimes questions arise as to whom to contact about a certain issue, generally the following are the best options.

Discussion Forums (in Canvas)

  • For discussing, collaborating, and asking questions on lessons and general course issues.
  • You may find teaching assistants popping into discussion forums from time to time, but you should expect first and foremost your fellow students, and also the instructor to respond there.

Conversations (in Canvas)

  • First, Please MAKE SURE YOU USE "Canvas" TO EMAIL YOUR INSTRUCTOR (go to the Inbox in Canvas).
  • Check the relevant discussion forum first to see if your question might have already been asked and answered!
  • Email Instructor with questions regarding a graded quiz, course content questions or a specific issue unique to a student's situation.

Reporting Technical Problems

If you experience technology problems in Drupal (course content) please contact your Instructor.  If you experience technology problems in Canvas please contact the World Campus Help Deskhttp://student.worldcampus.psu.edu/technical-support.

It is in your own best interest to be as specific as you possibly can. Vague descriptions of a problem only delay assistance, try to include information such as:

  • The specific course page, quiz question, etc., you were on, what you attempted to do when that failed, and the exact language of any error message displayed on your screen.
  • The date and time when your problem occurred.
  • Any other pertinent information (does the problem happen consistently and always in the same way, etc.).

A member of the World Campus Help Desk will be in contact with you to offer assistance .

Note:

All official administrative communications from the Penn State World Campus are sent to students' Penn State email accounts. Be sure to check your Penn State account regularly or forward your Penn State email to your preferred email account, so you don't miss any important information.
