Fixing the time zone flaw
Student report from most of my students:
"Please attempt again to correct your timezone mechanism.
I was able to change it within Canvas but Cisco did not give me the option to change my settings. I am listed with an African time zone."Fix this flaw ASAP please as my students'assignments and exams show the incorrect timezone date making it impossible for them to do their work.
Long back story, but I will attempt to shorten it.
Your helpdesk told me that when my students were registering for accounts this term our academy timezone was incorrect, without my intervention or…
2 votesArchived · AdminSandra Ray (Customer Support Director, or Executive, Cisco Networking Academy) respondedThank you for all of the information. There was an issue with some student’s profiles not updating correctly in the New Experience. This has been fixed so they will see assignments based on the timezone in their profile.
Assessments (those with the green puzzle icon in New Experience) us the time from the individual’s computer instead of the profile timezone.
We will keep this idea in mind for future updates so all places in NetAcad use the same timezone.

Suggestions and Request
I would like to bring this to your attention that the current system ,the instructors cannot rest passwords for students as per the previous system the way it used to be.
And currently we have an outreach that we are carrying out,were we are dealing with the community who need our support and it’s in rural and some urban areas where internet and computers are still for sharing and some of the students are still computer illiterate . So I humbly request the developer and Cisco Technical Team to return THE RESET PASSWORD LINK FOR THE INSTUCTORS due to the…

seat tokens registration
- When registering students in a course using seat tokens:
- The fields of the form after successful submitting still appear for the students, this will lead many students to submit again then the message "Seat token has already been redeemed." appear. (this makes a conflict). I think it is better to remove the fields after successful submit or redirect to another page.
- the email received after submitting the seat token marked as Spam. So many students say (We didn't receive an email).
- The process of registering the students using seat token is very helpful, but it is complicated because there are…
1 voteArchived · AdminSandra Ray (Customer Support Director, or Executive, Cisco Networking Academy) respondedThank you for the information regarding seat tokens.
We have tested and we have not been able to duplicate the issues you described. When redeeming seat tokens a success message appeared letting the user know to check their email.
We do ask all users to ensure they can receive email from noreply@cisco.com and noreply@netacad.com. This is in the login FAQs in Cisco NetAcad and in the pre-login pages.
We appreciate your suggestions to limit the number of steps students have to take to register an account. We will continue to work on ways to improve this process.

How to show last and first names
Users' names should be shown in the format:
Lastname, FirstName
and should be sortable.
Right now users are shown in the format:
Firstname Lastname
and are not sortable
I'm referring to the "Course details" page and to the Gradebook, from "I'm Teaching" view, but also to Users page from "I'm managing".4 votesArchived · AdminSandra Ray (Customer Support Director, or Executive, Cisco Networking Academy) respondedThank you for the suggestions. We are continually looking for ways to improve the system. This enhancement request is not something we can implement at this time but will be considered in the future.

Link to Course from a Message Inbox
Using Inbox and reading a message from a student, it could be useful to have a direct link to course the student enrolled.
Now the instructors has to come back to "My NetAcad", to select the course( if he has many as I it can be boring) and then to perform the necessary actions to solve the student issue.
He repeats the process for each message.1 voteThanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately we will not be able to implement at this time.

Packet Tracer Log in issue.
Thus, I am asking if it is possible for the NetAcad Support team to post something to the NetAcad alert page informing the CISCO NetAcad user community of the cause and solution to this PT log-in issue?
The instructor is unable to log into Netacad and this has had to go to the Netacad Tech team. They did tell him that he is not the only teacher with this issue /and there are students also

cannot delete students
Dear Sirs,
after the transition to single-side-on there is no button under I'm Managing and then users to delete students anymore.2 votesArchived · AdminSandra Ray (Customer Support Director, or Executive, Cisco Networking Academy) respondedUsers can be removed from an academy from the “I’m Managing” tab. Click on “Edit Role” on the “Users” tab and remove all roles for a user. This will remove them from the academy.
