4.Join the channel for your course (to be done by administrator)

Each IT course has its own private channel with a name that reflects the number and name of the course (e.g. Web Design 1's channel is 211web-design1, Intro to Computer Support's channel is 104support, etc.).

Your instructor or the team administrator will do this for you, as you cannot add yourself to the course channels. This process can take up to 24 hours (or longer on the weekends). If you are not added to the channel within 24 hours of joining the team, contact your instructor or the team administrator for assistance.
