I am looking for...
The feature Hand Raise is called "I am looking for..." at HCC. The feature allows students to “raise their hand” by issuing alerts on themselves, using the Navigate360 Student app on desktop or mobile.
When students use Hand Raise, they go to one of two places.
First, they can access, I am looking for... from the Quick Add menu.
Second, they can look for the dark green waiving hand menu icon labeled "I am looking for..."
The student will select a reason, if the reason is associated with a specific class, and any additional comments before clicking Submit to issue the alert.
Note that the classes shown in the dropdown are the classes the student is currently enrolled in. If they are not enrolled in any classes, the dropdown will be empty.
