Current Students: Get Support in Learn Stage
If you’re a current student, the quickest and easiest way to get support is by submitting a Help Desk ticket in Learn Stage.
The Help Desk connects you with the right support team based on the issue you select. This ensures your request is routed and answered as efficiently as possible.
You can use the Help Desk if you:
- Need academic support, like help with an assignment, quiz, or course content
- Want to talk to a coach (Excel doesn’t assign individual teachers — support comes from our team of academic and success coaches)
- Have questions about your grades or progress tracking
- Need help accessing a course, submitting work, or navigating your dashboard
- Have account issues, like enrollment questions, login problems (if already logged in), or profile updates
📌 Make sure to choose the right department when submitting your ticket — like Academic Support or General Support — and include as much detail as possible.
