# FAQ

**1. Where should I start after logging in?**

Head straight to **My Assignments**. That's where all the work your professor has set for you will appear.

***

**2. How will I know when a new assignment has been given?**

You'll get an email and an in-app notification. You'll also see it appear in your **My Assignments** list automatically.

***

**3. Do I need to click Live a Life first to start an assignment?**

No. For class assignments, always go through **My Assignments** and click **Start Assignment** on the relevant card. Live a Life is not used for department assignments.

***

**4. Can I stop partway through and come back later?**

Yes. Your progress is saved automatically. Just come back to **My Assignments** and click **Continue Assignment** to pick up where you left off.

***

**5. How do I know when I've finished an assignment?**

The status badge on the assignment card will change to **Completed** once you're done.

***

**6. I got the email but I can't see the assignment. What should I do?**

Try these steps in order:

* Refresh the page
* Reopen **My Assignments**
* Make sure you're logged into the correct student account
* If it's still not showing, let your professor or department admin know

***

**7. I clicked away from the notification. How do I find the assignment now?**

Just open **My Assignments** from the sidebar. That's always your main list of current and upcoming work — you don't need the notification to find it.

***

**8. What do the different assignment statuses mean?**

* **Pending** — you haven't started yet
* **In Progress** — you've started but haven't finished
* **Completed** — all done

***

**9. Where can I check my progress?**

Open **My Journey** to see your activity, the lives you've played, the countries you've visited, and how you're growing over time.

***

**10. What is the Home page actually for?**

Home gives you a quick overview of everything — your assignment totals, what's in progress, and where to go next. Think of it as your daily starting point before diving into your work.
