Profile Status (on Dashboard)

When you sign in to the Instructor Dashboard, your profile on the left side of the page includes a "Status" section. This will potentially highlight actions you need to take:

  • Membership - when not "OK", there's an issue with the active state of your Neon membership. Reach out to membership@protohaven.org to resolve this.
  • Capabilities - when not "OK", this means that your capabilities haven't been logged. Submit the Instructor capabilities form to remedy this.
  • Paperwork - when not "OK", specific documents will be listed as missing. Please send the missing documents to education@protohaven.org so we can record them.
  • Discord - when not "OK", it's likely your discord username isn't linked to your Neon account. Mention this in the #instructors channel of Discord and an admin (probably Scott) will link things up.
  • Availability - when not "OK", this indicates that your availability cannot be found in the instructor availability calendar. Make sure you are using your full name (as listed on the instructor dashboard) when setting your availability, and contact education@protohaven.org if you have access or setup issues.
