Add or edit announcements

1. Select Announcements Manager from the left menu.
2. Select Create Announcement.
3. Choose when to display the announcement on student Announcement pages:
   • Display on this date - the date when the announcement is posts for students.
   • Display on alternate date - the date when the announcement shows in the calendar.

     For example, to announce ten days in advance that your class is canceled on December 25th, enter 12/15/2022 in the Display on this date box. Enter 12/25/2022 in the Display on alternate date box to post the announcement on the calendar for December 25th.

     If you select a future date, the announcement displays at 12:00 AM on that day.

4. Optionally enter a date in the Remove Date box. The announcement is automatically removed at midnight on that day.
5. Enter your announcement title and body text. Use the icons to create hyperlinks, format text, or enter special symbols (Omega icon).

   If you copy and paste formatted text from software such as Microsoft Word, hidden codes are inserted into your announcement and might exceed to maximum allowed length. If you get an error, first save your announcement as a text file.

6. Either:
   • Select Save and Email Announcement to post your announcement and email the information to all active students.
   • Select Save Announcement to post your announcement.

From the Announcements Manager page, you can create announcements for another program by selecting its name from the dropdown list in the breadcrumbs at the top of the page.

1. Select Announcements Manager from the left menu.
2. Select Actions > Edit or Delete for the announcement.

   In a member section, announcements inherited from the coordinator program are shown with a diamond icon.

You cannot edit the publisher announcements, but you can hide them.
