Troubleshooting #

  • If you see a dialog in the Presto Assistant web app that your request to join an organization is pending, don't try to join again. Please ask your director to approve your membership in the organization.

  • After a director approves your membership in the program, you still are not allowed to sign in until the director officially sends out a Welcome Email.
  • If you are a student joining during class, ask your director to refresh their Presto Assistant web page so they can see new pending requests.
  • If you try to press the "Organization" menu item on the Member Info step before receiving the Welcome Email, you'll see an error message appear in the top right part of the screen. Don't try to join the organization again. Contact your director to ask about the Welcome Email.
