PATH: Help
Campus Help is a resource for providing users guidance in understanding and using the Campus system. Through the various learning methods provided, we hope Campus Help will make Campus easier to use and reveal new and exiting ways to use the system.
Accessing Campus Help
The are two ways in which users can access custom help articles within Campus.
The first way is to select the question mark icon in the upper right-hand corner of Campus (Image 1). All help articles related to the tool which the user was using at the time they pressed the question mark icon will appear in a separate window (Image 1). This includes both custom articles created by the district (District Defined Help) as well as videos, simulations, documentation, and curriculum created by Campus (Infinite Campus Defined Help).
