Review a student's added opportunity

If a student finds an opportunity on their own, outside of Xello, they can add it and submit the opportunity for review and approval.

FYI: Check out How students add an opportunity to learn what the student experience is like.

Add requests on behalf of students

You can add a request for an opportunity on a behalf of a student. This situation might occur if a counselor is meeting with a student and makes a request on behalf of the student in that moment. Or a group of students are eligible — or required to complete — an opportunity so the request is made on behalf of all those students at once.

To make a request for an opportunity on behalf of a student:

1. From your educator account, click Features and select Work-based learning.
