To refresh your alerts, simply pull down on the screen to update the page.

Clicking on a notification will take you to the relevant content where you can interact with it directly.

If you see the message “You have no alerts right now”, it just means you have not received any yet. You can still click on the My Halo Settings button to manage your alert settings.

Selecting the Halo Learn page in the navigation bar at the bottom will direct you to the Halo website in your browser.

On the My Account page, you can view your email and adjust between the default alert display options: List and Class View.

   • You can turn on or off notifications for new announcements, private messages, group messages, and when assessments are graded or reassigned.
   • The checkbox under In-Halo Alert will allow notifications to appear in the My Alerts sidebar panel within Halo, while selecting the checkbox under Mobile App will send the notification directly to your mobile device through the Halo Learn mobile
4. In the Manage Devices section, you can connect or disconnect devices that will receive notifications. If you want to disconnect a device, select Disconnect from the device list below to log out of your account on the app.

The Halo Learn mobile app is available on both the Google Play Store and the Apple App Store, making it compatible with both Android devices (version 6.0 later) and iOS devices (version 13.4 or later).

Currently, the Halo Learn mobile app is focused on delivering alerts and notifications outside of the main Halo Learn platform. While it does not serve as a complete Halo interface on mobile, it allows you to manage and interact with the alerts you receive directly within the app. The Halo team is looking forward to providing easier access to features like messages, class announcements, grade updates, and more from your phone in the future. In the meantime, the Halo website is responsive to mobile devices, and each page is optimized for use in your phone’s browser. Some pages may still require you to use a computer, but the Halo team is continually working to make the classroom fully mobile-friendly so you can access all features on your phone.

The Halo team is actively working on adding more alerts and features to the Halo Learn mobile app and is continuously looking for ways to improve it. They value your feedback and want to hear your thoughts on how they can make the app work better for you. You can submit your ideas and suggestions by clicking here.

If you do find any bugs or issues while using the app, you can report them directly by going to My Account, then Help & Resources, and selecting Report a Bug.

If you see an error message, “Not a valid login for any Halo institution,” on the Sign Up page, it means that you are not an active student with GCU. Please make sure that you have an active class within the Halo platform. Also, confirm that you are entering your full GCU email address (including @my.gcu.edu).
