Use this page to learn more about how students log in and the various elements of student homepage and basic navigation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is it that when a student completes a Pathblazer assignment the folder disappears?
This is standard behavior for any assignment, no matter how it is assigned. When it is complete, it no longer shows up for students so the student experience is kept as uncluttered as possible.
