What is a student message?
Student messages are short notification messages that appear on the logged-in student's " My Page."
Good to know:
The message can be published so that it is visible to either all students in a programme or only to students in a specific cohort of a programme (an offering of the programme).
Only one student message per programme / offering can be displayed at a time for the student on "My Page."
You can create a message that is shown in Swedish and/or English.
There is no limit to how long a student message can be.

While there's no limit to the length of a student message, the recommendation is to keep it concise. If there's a need for longer and more detailed information for students, consider using a news post article targeted to the programme/programme instance instead. News posts are also visible on the student's My Page.If possible, stick to one message in the student message. This makes it easier for the student to understand." |

Make sure you have selected the correct language version of the Student Portal before you create your message. This is because the message you create will only be displayed for students who have chosen the same language version (you can always create a translation of the message). If your message is in English, choose the English language version, and vice versa. You can do this by clicking on 'Svenska' or 'English' in the header. Click on 'Student messages overview' (in Swedish, 'Översikt studentmeddelanden') in the main menu of the Student Portal.
You will now be directed to an admin page for student messages.
Click on the button ‘+ Add student message’ (in Swedish, '+ Lägg till Studentmeddelande' ).
Now, you'll be taken to a page with an admin form, where you can create your student message, specify who should see it, and either publish it or save it for the future. Fill in the form. If needed, you’ll find instructions below.
When you are finished, click ‘Save’ ('Spara').
When the message is saved, an administrator page opens showing the content of your message. This view is only for you as the creator of the message; it will never be seen by students.

When you want to create or edit a student message form, you do so by opening a webpage with a web the student messages admin form. Even though the title of the title of the form varies (create or edit), the content of the form is the same.

Scheduling options (Alternativ för schemaläggning) = My Page should feel relevant and updated for students, and student messages are intended for short, time-bound notices. Therefore, all student messages must have a date for when they will be unpublished.
Save as (Spara som) = Choose status for the student message:
‘Published’ (‘Publicerad’), the message is visible for the students immediately.
‘Draft’ (‘Utkast’) your messa message is saved but not visible to the students.
‘Unpublished’ ('Avpublicerad') is only an alternative for messages that are published, and means that the message is no longer visible to students, but can be edited and published again.
